Chelsea heads to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, seeking to make a historic comeback and reach the Carabao Cup final for the first time since 2024.
Under the management of Liam Rosenior, the team has gained momentum, winning six of their first seven matches. Chelsea arrives in North London following an impressive 3–2 victory over West Ham, having come back from a two-goal deficit. Although they trail 3–2 on aggregate, Chelsea has a strong chance in this competition, having advanced from three of their last four semi-finals after losing the first leg.
Chelsea Team News
Liam Rosenior is dealing with several absences in the creative positions. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is out with a foot injury, and Estêvão Willian’s availability is uncertain due to compassionate leave. Consequently, Alejandro Garnacho, who has contributed 10 goals in his last six EFL Cup matches, is expected to step up. He scored twice after coming off the bench in the first leg and will be crucial for Chelsea’s comeback.
Robert Sánchez will start in goal, backed by a defense likely to include Reece James and Wesley Fofana. In midfield, Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo aim to control the game against a strong Arsenal midfield. Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer will add creativity, supporting the striker as Chelsea looks to maintain their perfect away record in this season’s EFL Cup.

Chelsea predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; Pedro
