Arsenal hold a 3-2 advantage from the first leg at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea have been beaten on four of their last five visits to the Emirates Stadium
Recommended bet: Arsenal to win
Arsenal have continued to play at a high level across all competitions and they have a great chance to advance to a major final when taking on Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie on Tuesday.
Mikel Arteta’s side reached the halfway point of the contest in a strong position after goals from Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi sealed a 3-2 first-leg success at Stamford Bridge.
The Gunners can approach the second leg full of confidence after Saturday’s superb 4-0 triumph at Leeds, which reaffirmed their status as red-hot Premier League title favourites.
Chelsea were also weekend winners in the top flight after coming from 2-0 behind in Saturday’s 3-2 success at home to West Ham.
The Blues recovered from a dreadful opening half against the Hammers, but they will need to be spot on from the first whistle in north London if they are to keep their EFL Cup hopes alive.

Prediction
Arsenal are 13 points above Chelsea in the Premier League and should have too much quality for the Blues in the decisive second leg of their EFL Cup tie.
Chelsea twice reduced the deficit in the opening leg to keep themselves in with a slight chance, but they are facing an uphill battle against a team which rarely tastes defeat in front of their own fans.
It has taken several years for Arsenal to painstakingly build a squad capable of competing across multiple fronts.
Doubts will always linger until a trophy is in the cabinet but Arsenal are just two steps away from claiming the first of what could be multiple prizes.
They have been by far the most consistent team in the Premier League and can finish their mission against Chelsea, who are set to see an end to their five-game winning sequence.
