Chelsea.
Liam Rosier, Chelsea’s new manager, is set to lead the team at Stamford Bridge for the first time after an impressive debut, thrashing Charlton 5-1 in the FA Cup. Winning a trophy is the surest way to win over fans, as the "Blues" have not won a domestic title since the 2017/18 season.
Their last Carabao Cup success dates back to 2014/15. Of the last four semi-finals Chelsea reached, they advanced three times, with their only disappointment coming against Arsenal. Their goal is to secure a positive result to carry an advantage into the second leg at Emirates Stadium.
However, with only one home win in the last four matches (two draws, one loss), Chelsea may need the boost from the new manager to overcome this crucial test.
Arsenal.
It has been almost six years since Mikel Arteta last led Arsenal to a trophy, winning the FA Cup in 2020. However, their current form shows clear strength, remaining unbeaten in nine consecutive matches across all competitions (eight wins, one draw), still competing in four tournaments.
Yet the Carabao Cup has been challenging for Arsenal, as they were eliminated at this stage in two of the last four seasons. Their record in the League Cup is modest, with only two titles, the most recent dating back to 1993.
Head-to-head record (H2H).
Arsenal has not lost to Chelsea in their last eight meetings (five wins, three draws) and last lost at Stamford Bridge in August 2018.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has lost only once in their last six Carabao Cup meetings with Arsenal (four wins, one draw), with that defeat coming in their most recent encounter in this competition in 2018.
