Brendan Rodgers' side overcame Bournemouth 3-1 in the last eight on Wednesday, and will now face the current Premier League leaders over two legs in the new year.
Chelsea also prevailed 3-1 against Championship opposition, as they triumphed against Derby County on Tuesday.
The two sides contested the final of this competition in 2005, when Chelsea emerged 3-2 victors after extra-time having found a late equaliser through Steven Gerrard's own goal.
The other tie sees Spurs take on League One outfit United, who provided the shock of the quarter-final round by seeing off Premier League Southampton 1-0 at Bramall Lane.
Tottenham won this competition as recently as 2008, and booked their place in the last four this time with a 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle United at White Hart Lane.
