Arsenal comfortably booked their place in the EFL Cup semi-finals with a 5-1 win over Sunderland on Tuesday.

This set up a two-legged semi-final with Liverpool after the draws were conducted. Elsewhere the Gunners kickstart the new year with a difficult home encounter with Manchester City.

The FA cup will also commence in January with a third round tie against Championship outfit Nottingham Forrest.

Premier League: Manchester City (H) – January 1
Carabao Cup: Liverpool (H) – January 4
FA Cup: Nottingham Forrest (A) – January 9
Carabao Cup: Liverpool (A) – January 11
Premier League: Tottenham (A) – January 16
Premier League: Burnley (H) – January 22

The highly anticipated second north London derby will take place in mid-January, both sides are battling for a top- four finish so the stakes will be higher.

The Gunners will also have to be at their very best in the cup competitions to keep their hopes of winning silverware alive.

An aggregate win over Liverpool will place Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final while victory in the third-round of the FA Cup will broaden chances of winning a fifteenth FA Cup.
