The Carabao Cup enters its decisive stage this Tuesday with the second leg of the semi-final, a true showdown between Arsenal and Chelsea. At the Emirates Stadium, the 'Gunners' will seek to secure their place in the final after winning 3-2 in the first leg at Stamford Bridge. Kick-off is at 17:00 local time. Under Mikel Arteta's management, the team arrives with an advantage thanks to their away goals, making them the favorites in the tie. Arsenal is heavily invested in this competition as a concrete opportunity to lift a title, backed by their fans and a squad that has been significantly strengthened to compete on all fronts. Chelsea, on the other hand, faces the duel in a complex context. Following the recent departure of Enzo Maresca, the club has opted for Liam Rosenior, who has taken charge of the team with the immediate challenge of turning the series around. Despite the instability, the 'Blues' boast top-tier players like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández, and Moisés Caicedo, who keep the dream of pulling off an upset in London alive. The blue team arrives with some momentum after a 3-2 win over West Ham in the Premier League, a result that keeps them in fifth place with 40 points. However, the visit to the Emirates represents a test of maximum intensity, in the only round of the Carabao Cup played over two legs. The winner of this tie will advance to the final to face Manchester City or Newcastle United, a tie in which Pep Guardiola's team holds a 2-0 lead.
