Manchester United will face Hull City in the EFL Cup semi-finals, while Southampton take on Liverpool.

Hull, managed by the former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan, will travel to Old Trafford for the first leg in their first appearance in the last four of the League Cup. United have won the cup three times in the past 11 years.

Southampton, who shocked Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates in Wednesday’s quarter-finals, will play host to Liverpool with the first leg to be played in the week commencing 9 January. The second leg will be played in the week commencing 23 January.

Liverpool lost last season’s cup final on penalties to Manchester City, four years after they beat Cardiff City in a shootout in the final.

Southampton have reached the semi-finals only twice before and have played in one League Cup final, losing to Nottingham Forest in 1979. Liverpool have won the cup more times than any other club, eight, while United have won it four times.
