Reigning champion Manchester City will face arch rival Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, while Tottenham host Championship Brentford.
City, who are aiming to win the trophy for the fourth year in a row and the sixth time in eight years, were selected to play away from home in what will be a one-legged quarter-final tie on January 5 or 6.
The Manchester derby is a repeat of last year’s two-match semi-final, in which City prevailed on aggregate despite losing the second match. Pep Guardiola’s team went on to beat Aston Villa in the final.
City booked their final quarter with a 4-1 win over Arsenal on Tuesday, while United, seeking their sixth win in the competition, joined them by scoring two goals at the end to beat Everton 2-0 on Wednesday.
José Mourinho’s Spurs, who are aiming to win the cup for the first time since 2008, achieved a 3-1 victory in Stoke, also on Wednesday.
They will face the outsiders of the last four in Brentford, who have already beaten four Premier League teams in Southampton, West Brom, Fulham and Newcastle en route to the semi-finals.
