Carabao Cup: Manchester derby in semifinals; Leicester City host Aston Villa
Posted Thursday, December 19, 2019 by ESPN
Manchester United will host crosstown rivals City in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup, while Leicester are home to Aston Villa in the other semifinal.
The last-four ties will be played on Jan. 6 and Jan. 27.
United made the semifinals after beating Colchester 3-0, while holders went through with an easy win over Oxford United. United and City last met in the League Cup semifinals in 2010, when a late Wayne Rooney header gave Sir Alex Ferguson's side a memorable win.
Leicester and Everton provided the most drama of the three Wednesday matches, with the visitors blowing a two-goal lead before winning on penalties.
Leicester are in the League Cup semifinals for the first time since the 1999-2000 campaign, when they won the trophy.
Aston Villa were the first to qualify for the last four after beating the youngest Liverpool side in history 5-0 as the Reds senior team was away on Club World Cup duty in Qatar where they beat Monterrey to set up a finals showdown with Flamengo.
