The Carabao Cup semi-final draw has delivered two blockbuster ties as holders Newcastle United will face Manchester City, while Chelsea await the winners of Arsenal v Crystal Palace, which takes place on Tuesday 23 December.

City sealed their spot with a 2-0 win over Brentford earlier tonight, setting up a mouth-watering clash with Eddie Howe’s side, who dramatically edged past Fulham thanks to Lewis Miley’s stoppage-time header.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will discover their opponents next week when Arsenal and Palace meet at Emirates Stadium.

The first legs are scheduled for the week commencing 12 January 2026, with the second legs taking place in the week commencing 2 February 2026.
