CHELSEA CHASE EFL CUP FINAL SPOT

The Blues lost 3-2 in the first leg against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. However, they put themselves in a much more positive position after Alejandro Garnacho scored a brace to narrow the gap to just one goal. Following the first leg loss, Chelsea have been excellent under the newly appointed Liam Rosenior. The Blues have gone on to win their next five in all competitions.

Last time out, Chelsea managed to secure an important three points against West Ham. After going 2-0 down, Liam Rosenior’s side managed to come back to win 3-2; Enzo Fernández scored a 92nd-minute winner.

ARSENAL HAVE THE MOMENTUM

The Gunners come into the second leg of the Carabao Cup after winning the first leg 3-2 away at Stamford Bridge; the goal scorers were Ben White, Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi. Arsenal are currently top of the table, and they’re six points clear of Manchester City. The Gunners come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 4-0 away win against Leeds.

Mikel Arteta will have his main focus on the league, but Arsenal have only won the EFL Cup twice, and the last time they reached the final was in 2018, when they lost 3-0 against Manchester City, so Arteta will be just as eager to win the Carabao Cup.
