Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho won his first trophy in England by beating Liverpool to the League Cup in 2005, and his side will be away in the first leg.
The ties over two legs are set to be played on January 20 and 21 and January 27 and 28.
Sky Bet League 1 side Sheffield United will face Tottenham in the other semi-final tie.
The Blades saw off Premier League Southampton at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night, and will face Spurs at their home ground in the second of the ties.
Spurs booked their last-four spot with a 4-0 demolition of Newcastle but will not necessarily relish a clash with lower-league opposition.
Nigel Clough's Blades went to Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals last season, while the template in this tournament was set by Bradford going all the way to the final in 2013.
