"Chelsea welcome Premier League rivals Arsenal to Stamford Bridge for their first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. Manchester City laid down a statement of intent by beating Newcastle 2-0 at St James' Park in the other tie on Tuesday night, with Pep Guardiola likely watching their potential opponents at Wembley tonight. The Gunners are flying high under Mikel Arteta, and are still competing on all four fronts with their hunger for that elusive piece of silverware."
"On the other hand, Liam Rosenior will take charge of his second game following his arrival at the club, after guiding the Blues to a 5-1 win over Charlton in the FA Cup last weekend. The clash in West London, however, is likely going to be much more difficult for the former Strasbourg boss. You can get all the team news for the match below, and follow live commentary as well."
