Tottenham and Chelsea will square off for a place in the EFL Cup final while Manchester City faces Burton Albion in the other last-four tie.

A trio of Premier League clubs are left standing in the competition but at least one will be eliminated when Spurs — the 2-0 winner at north London rival Arsenal in the quarterfinals — takes on Maurizio Sarri's side, which edged Bournemouth 1-0 at Stamford Bridge .

Tottenham will host the first leg as it seeks to avenge the 2015 final defeat it suffered at the hands of the Blues.

Holder City, meanwhile, will be confident of securing a return to Wembley after being drawn against League One outfit Burton, which progressed on Tuesday courtesy of a 1-0 win away at Middlesbrough.

The first legs will take place in the week commencing January 7 with the reverse fixtures held a fortnight later.
