The Carabao Cup semi-final draw takes place tonight with Arsenal finding themselves in the hat - despite a scare against London rivals Crystal Palace.

Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring early doors for the visitors to give them a lead which was held until half-time. But that advantage would be cancelled out in the second half thanks to a heroic hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus.

Former Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah pulled one back with five minutes remaining to ensure a nervy finish, but the Gunners ultimately held on. London will be represented by two teams in the draw tonight after Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
