Chelsea take on the visitors Arsenal at “Stamford Bridge” in the semi-final battle of the English Carabao Cup. The game will be played in London on Wednesday, January 10th.
Chelsea demonstrate quite solid football in this season. Antonio Conte’s side took 25 points in 11 home clashes. The club’s defense is in a good form, having conceded only seven goals alike to its offense which has scored 21 goals already. On the previous stages of the Carabao Cup the team thrashed Nottingham 5:1, beat Everton and Bournemouth with the same 2:1 scoreline. In their latest match played at their own turf Chelsea smashed Stoke City 5:0.

Arsenal look not as confident as their supporters wanted them to be, however, the club shows quite strong football from time to time. In 11 encounters conducted on the road within the Premier League “The Gunners” have gained only 13 points with 13 goals for and 16 goals against. It is quite a difficult task for the side to perform on the road. In the previous rounds of the Carabao Cup Arsenal beat Doncaster 1:0, Norwich 2:1 and West Ham 1:0. The club has earned 1:1 draw in the recent away fight against West Bromwich.
It’s hard to define the favourite of the forthcoming clash as the latest head-to-head between the rivals was finished in 2:2 draw in the Premier League and thus one should expect for equal and tough battle. Due to the fact that Chelsea will host the game, I would give a slight advantage to them but as a whole, the teams’ chances for a successful outcome are equal.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
