Can the Blues get their first win against the Gunners in five years?
North London’s Emirates Stadium is gearing up to host the Carabao Cup semi-final between reigning world champions Chelsea and arch-rivals Arsenal.
Arsenal have risen to the top (league phase) not only in the Premier League but also in the UCL and are enjoying the best of times. They are ahead of Chelsea by just one goal in total. A draw is enough to advance to the Carabao Cup final.
Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea side have a great chance to win their first silver medal. To do that, they need to surpass Arsenal, who are arguably the best team in Europe and England at the moment. They come on the back of their recent hard-fought victory over West Ham and will be hoping to extend their winning streak in north London.
kick off:
- Location: North London, UK
- Stadium: Emirates Stadium
- Date and time: Wednesday, February 4th
- Kickoff time: 1:30am (IST)
- Referee: To be determined
- VAR: In use
Featured players
David Raya (Arsenal)
The Spanish defender is set to join the north London side permanently in 2024 after being traded to Blackburn Rovers and Brentford. He has been a rock-solid presence for the Gunners ever since. He came close to keeping a clean sheet against Chelsea, helping Mikel Arteta’s side reach the final once again.
Liam Delap (Chelsea)
The English striker has worn the jersey of teams including Manchester City, Stoke City and Ipswich Town before signing for Chelsea in 2025. The Blues need to step up in must-win games if they are to aim for a place in the Carabao Cup final. In the PL, he played in 18 games and scored 2 goals.
