"For all the lack of job security he is likely to face at Chelsea, new manager Liam Rosenior knows victory over Arsenal in the EFL Cup could help his ambitions of matching Gunners counterpart Mikel Arteta's reign of more than six years at the Premier League leaders. In his first home game in charge, Rosenior can take a step towards his first trophy as a manager with a win in the first leg of the semi-finals."
""I'd love to be here for six years and longer but I'm aware that, for that to happen, I need to win," said Rosenior, who succeeded Enzo Maresca last week following the end of the Italian's 18-month tenure. "I've got ideas about what I want the team to look like in a year's time, two years' time, three years' time. But I think I've got enough resources and enough tools with me now to win now."
""Having everybody involved in a long season like this one is crucial," Merino told ESPN. "With the quality we have, you know that, when you are needed, you are going to have to step up and do your best, because your teammates are going to perform well. "That competition is very good and it's elevating the level of the whole squad. We're going to need everyone - and everyone is ready.""
Liam Rosenior faces limited job security and views an EFL Cup semi-final first-leg win over Arsenal as crucial to building a longer tenure at Chelsea. The match will be his first home game and a chance to claim his first managerial trophy. Rosenior has multi-year plans for the team's development and believes the current squad contains the resources to win immediately. Arsenal rotated in the FA Cup as Gabriel Martinelli scored a hat-trick, and Mikel Merino emphasized squad competition and readiness. Chelsea will miss Mosies Caicedo through a one-match ban, have Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo sidelined with hamstring problems, Levi Colwill out long-term with a knee injury, and Malo Gusto, Reece James and Cole Palmer listed as doubts.
