ARSENAL host London rivals Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tonight.
Mikel Arteta‘s side lead 3-2 in the tie, following their trip to Stamford Bridge two weeks ago.
Arsenal have faced the Blues twice this term, drawing and winning in West London in November and January.
Since losing to the Gunners in the first leg, Liam Rosenior‘s side have won five in a row, with two stunning comeback victories over Napoli and West Ham recently.
Arsenal also enter the fixture in good form after they secured a 4-0 win at Elland Road last time out, thrashing a recently revitalised Leeds outfit.
Both sides lost when they were last in the Carabao Cup final – Arsenal to Manchester City in 2018 (0-3) and Chelsea to Liverpool (0-0 FT, 11-10 penalties) in 2022.
