Rivals Arsenal and chelsea will go at it again for what will be the fifth time this season. They will meet up at the Emirates in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi final on Wednesday night with the tie evenly balanced at 0-0. The first leg of the contest at Stamford Bridge really never got itself going as a contest and Arsenal were pretty much content to battle through without exposing themselves to too much risk by sitting back.
They will be looking to take their chances on home soil and that looked their plan from the off. Chelsea were badly off colour in that first leg and couldn’t get up a genuine head of steam to really trouble what was an under-strength Arsenal. This is going to be a massively important game for the Gunners because of their poor Premier League form and having seen their FA Cup title defence tank in the third round.
So this is all that they have left to play for on the domestic front and that should put a bit of wind in their sails, especially with home advantage. Arsenal have remained unbeaten in their last five on home soil against Chelsea in all competitions, but they have won only one of their last eight in North London against the Blues. The four times that they have met this season already there have been four drawn matches, twice in the Premier League, once in the Community Shield and in the first leg of this EFL Cup semi final tie.
Chelsea are going as narrow favourites to win the match on the night though. They were on a tricky run of form before hitting top stride on the weekend by beating Brighton 4-0 in the Premier League. The Blues are struggling to find a goalscorer in form at the moment to help them out but they have quality from the midfield with the likes of Eden Hazard and Willian to help drive them forward. They also have the advantage of potential away goals in the tie as well.
