In the other semi-final, Blackburn Rovers drew Manchester United.
Wigan Athletic v Arsenal
Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United
The games will be played in the weeks commencing 9th and 23rd of January.
Of the draw, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger commented: "We have a tough game and we go first to Wigan. I will see what I will do as it will be new for them, but we want to go to the final also."
Many Wigan fans will be disappointed not to get a local draw, but wouldn't it be lovely if the two big guns get knocked out to leave a Wigan v Blackburn final.
I'm sure chairman Dave Whelan would be particularly excited by the prospect.
