Continental Cup semi-final draw in full as Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal discover fate

Reigning Continental Cup champions Manchester City will face either Arsenal or Aston Villa in next month's semi-finals, while West Ham will host Chelsea in a London derby at the Chigwell Construction stadium.

The semi-final draw took place this afternoon live on TalkSport2, with Gareth Taylor's side having to wait for the outcome of tonight's quarter-final clash at Meadow Park to learn whether they will be travelling to London or the West Midlands in the next round. City moved a step closer to retaining their Conti Cup crown in their 6-0 demolition of Championship side Bristol City on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, two-time winners Chelsea booked their place in the semis thanks to a 3-1 victory over Tottenham, while a late goal from Dagny Brynjarsdottir was enough to see West Ham triumph over Liverpool at Prenton Park. The Hammers faced Chelsea when they last reached the semi-finals in 2021, but on that occasion Emma Hayes' side scored six without reply to brutally dump the East Londoners out of the competition.

Arsenal, who have lifted the trophy on five previous occasions and are the most successful side in the competition's history, will host Aston Villa in their quarter-final clash on Thursday night, with former Gunners midfielder Jordan Nobbs set to get her first opportunity to come up against her old side.

An Arsenal victory would set up a repeat of the 2014, 2018 and 2019 Conti Cup finals against Manchester City in the next round. The semi-finals will take place on the evenings of February 8 and 9, while the final will take place on Sunday 5 March at Selhurst Park.
