Jose Mourinho's side will play at home first in the week commencing January 9, with the return leg a fortnight later at the KCOM Stadium.

After learning of the draw, Mourinho said: "If the teams arrive here, it is because they put a lot on the competition.

"I am sure that Hull City has an amazing memory from Wembley from last season [in the Championship play-off final]. I'm sure that they are going to try everything to be there again."

Southampton also made it into the last four on Wednesday, beating Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, and their reward is a clash with Jurgen Klopp's side.
