When is the Carabao Cup semi-final draw? Liverpool’s possible opponents revealed

Liverpool are in the hat for the semi-finals of this season’s Carabao Cup after beating Southampton and will know their opponents later in the week.

A 2-1 victory over Southampton saw a much-changed Reds book their place in the next round of the Carabao Cup.

Goals from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott were enough to secure the win, with a strong rearguard display late on ensuring their progress.

It means Liverpool are into the semi-finals as they look to defend the final trophy won under Jurgen Klopp.

 

When is the Carabao Cup semi-final draw?

The draw for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup will be held shortly after the quarter-final between Tottenham and Man United concludes on Thursday night (December 19).

With that fixture kicking off at 8pm the likelihood is the draw will take place at around 10.30pm (GMT).

It will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football as part of their coverage of Tottenham vs. Man United.
