Liverpool will play Fulham while Chelsea will face Middlesbrough in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Jurgen Klopp’s side thrashed West Ham 5-1 on Wednesday evening to reach the last four, while Fulham won a\u00a0<\/span>penalty shootout at Everton<\/span><\/a> on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chelsea also beat Newcastle on penalties in their quarter-final, while Middlesbrough won 3-0 at Port Vale to set up a repeat of the 1998 final.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two-legged ties will be played in the weeks commencing 8 and 22 January.<\/span><\/p>\n

Liverpool are aiming to reach their 14th final and claim a 10th success in the competition they first triumphed in back in 1981.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marco Silva’s Fulham, who travel to Anfield in the first leg, are making their bow in the last four and have not featured in a semi-final of any sort since 2010, when they went on to the final of the Europa League.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Championship club Boro, who host Chelsea in the first leg of their tie, are appearing in the semi-finals for the first time since 2004, when they won the competition to claim their only major trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea, who won both the 1997 FA Cup final and the League Cup final a year later against the Teessiders, are looking to win the tournament for a sixth time and collect a first piece of silverware since they lifted the delayed 2021 Club World Cup in February last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final is scheduled to be played at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 25 February.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
