WATFORD have been drawn against Liverpool in the Semi-Finals of the Carling Cup.

The Hornets, who dumped Premiership Portsmouth out of the competition in sensational fashion with a 3-0 victory at Vicarage Road, will meet Rafael Benitez's side, who needed penalties to progress to the last four after drawing 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur after extra-time at White Hart Lane tonight (Wednesday, December 1).

In the other Semi-Final, competition favourites Chelsea will meet Manchester United.
