The semi-finals of the competition take place on the week of January 4, with the final set for April 25.
The Wembley final had originally been scheduled for February 28, but the EFL made the decision to rearrange the date in order to increase the possibilities of supporters being able to attend on account of the current coronavirus restrictions.
Brentford are the only side outside of the Premier League remaining in the competition.
Thomas Frank’s Bees advanced to the last four on the back of a 1-0 victory over Newcastle, a win that was secured by a goal from Joshua Dasilva.
Manchester City are looking to defend the title they won last season, and they were hugely impressive 4-1 winners over an admittedly disappointing Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
Our Carabao Cup campaign is over for another season after a three-goal blast from the visitors in the second half.
The game looked to be finely balanced at half-time, after Alexandre Lacazette had equalised City s early opener.
But a goalkeeping error from Alex Runarsson saw us fall behind early in the second half, and we never recovered.
Manchester City had taken the lead from their first attack. Olkesandr Zinchenko whipped in a cross from the left and Gabriel Jesus ghosted in between Shkodran Mustafi and Runarsson to head home simply from close range.
City were playing with a freedom and passing the ball well, and there were more than ten minutes on the clock before we had a sight of their goal. Lacazette flashed a header wide at the near post from a Dani Ceballos corner.

Guardiola s two undroppables
Pep Guardiola made seven changes to his Manchester City side from the starting XI that beat Southampton at the weekend in his team to face Arsenal. It was still a strong side, with Gabriel Jesus and Aymeric Laporte coming into the team, but there was a night off for Kevin De Bruyne and Benjamin Mendy while the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Raheem Sterling and John Stones were benched.

Chelsea are ready to join Manchester City in the pursuit of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland in 2020/21, despite already spending around £120m on Timo Werner and Kai Havertz alone in just the last few months – and another £100m on other players.
City are in the market for a new forward as they look to a future beyond an ageing Sergio Aguero, with few at the club having enough faith in Gabriel Jesus to step into the Argentine’s shoes.

Carabao Cup Quarter-Final
MANCHESTER CITY 4 (Jesus 3, Mahrez 54, Foden 59, Laporte 73)
AT this festive time of year a defeat in a cup competition against big-spenders Manchester City could easily be brushed off.
The apt timing of a player named Gabriel Jesus scoring against Arsenal in their final game before Christmas could even spark a bit of a giggle, in the same way, perhaps, as a joke that you would find in a Christmas cracker.
