The draw for the semi-finals will take place after the last quarter-final clash between United and Spurs in north London tonight. Arsenal reached the semi-finals after a hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus ensured they beat Crystal Palace 3-2, while goals from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliot earned Liverpool a 2-1 win over Southampton.
A brace from Sandro Tonali and a strike from Fabian Schar saw Newcastle book their place in the final four with a 3-1 victory over Brentford.

Arsenal and Newcastle eyeing trophies
Arsenal and Newcastle might be at different steps in their development, but both will believe they can win the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners are perhaps more in need as Mikel Arteta seeks the trophy that may take his team onto greater things.
Newcastle meanwhile are looking to prove they have truly joined the big time as years of Saudi investment - and this could be the tournament that does that.
