A place in the Carabao Cup final will be decided on Tuesday as Arsenal welcome Chelsea to north London for the second leg of their semi-final.

The Gunners edged the opening contest 3–2 away from home, establishing a narrow advantage heading into the return fixture. Ben White, Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi were all on target for Arsenal, while a late brace from Alejandro Garnacho ensured Chelsea remain firmly in contention.

Arsenal arrive with renewed confidence after an emphatic weekend win ended a brief dip in domestic form. Mikel Arteta's side remain in control of the Premier League title race and have been equally convincing in Europe, where consistency has been a hallmark of their campaign. One potential setback is the fitness of Bukayo Saka, who was ruled out late on Saturday and remains a doubt.

Chelsea, meanwhile, make the trip north encouraged by a flawless run of results since the initial meeting. Progress under Liam Rosenior has been swift, with recent victories built on attacking intent and a growing resilience, evident in consecutive comeback wins over Napoli and West Ham.

João Pedro has been central to that momentum, finding the net in each of his last five appearances and delivering decisive contributions regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.

With a place in the final at stake, both teams have plenty to play for. Arsenal are seeking their first trophy since 2020, while Chelsea, who won the Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last summer, will be looking to turn their recent form into a return to Wembley.
