Chelsea and Arsenal aren’t exactly strangers with one another when it comes to meeting on the big occasion.

The London rivals collided in the 2019 Europa League final and have met in four domestic cup finals since the turn of the century. Their next seismic tussle doesn’t have silverware on the line, but the two teams are set to battle it out over two legs with a spot in the Carabao Cup final at stake.

This semi-final is significant for both teams for different reasons. In the blue corner, Liam Rosenior is aiming to ignite his managerial career in west London with a trophy, while Arsenal are hunting a taste of glory ahead of this season’s run-in.

The Gunners have typically gotten the better of their nearby foes in recent outings, although three of the previous five meetings have ended all-square. Chelsea’s last triumph arrived in 2021, and if they’re to advance into the final, you feel that they must secure a home victory on Wednesday night.

Here’s how you can tune into the first leg of this evenly poised Carabao Cup semi-final.
