Carabao Cup semi-final draw: Tottenham to face Liverpool as Arsenal meet Newcastle

Tottenham will face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, while Arsenal have been drawn against Newcastle.

After outlasting Manchester United in a seven-goal thriller in the last eight on Thursday night, Spurs will now be at home for the first game of a two-legged tie against the current Premier League leaders in the second week of January, then travelling to Anfield for the return fixture in early February.

Holders Liverpool booked their own latest semi-final spot by holding on to beat struggling Southampton 2-1 after a scare at St Mary’s on Wednesday night, seeking to secure their fifth Wembley trip in the last three years during an impressive debut campaign under Arne Slot.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will at home for their first leg against Newcastle before travelling to St James’ Park for the decider.

The Gunners fought back to see off London rivals Crystal Palace 3-2 on Wednesday courtesy of a timely hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus at the Emirates Stadium, while Newcastle cruised past Brentford 3-1 at home thanks largely to a stylish brace from Sandro Tonali.

Tottenham and Liverpool have yet to meet in the Premier League this season, with their first encounter coming up in north London on Sunday.

Arsenal and Newcastle have already gone head to head in the top-flight however, with Alexander Isak’s early strike earning the Magpies all three points on Tyneside back in early November.
