Arsenal hold a narrow first-leg advantage as they prepare to face in-form Chelsea for a place in the Carabao Cup final . Goals from Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi earned the Gunners a 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge, but Alejandro Garnacho’s second-half brace ensured Chelsea have a lifeline heading to the Emirates .
That defeat is the only blot on Liam Rosenior’s copybook since taking over at Chelsea , with all six of his other matches ending in victory - including a thrilling 3-2 win over West Ham at the weekend. However, Arsenal have won their last four home matches against Chelsea , and while they only need a draw to go through, we expect them to finish off their capital rivals with a victory @ 4/6, which is our opening Arsenal vs Chelsea prediction.

Arsenal emphatically got their title charge back on track on Saturday with a 4-0 victory at Leeds . That was their first league victory in four games and, with their two main rivals slipping up, left the Gunners six points clear at the top of the table.
With their Champions League and FA Cup campaigns also off to good starts, Arsenal are well in contention for a historic quadruple, and they will be looking to the Carabao Cup to kickstart that trophy hunt. Looking at the Arsenal vs Chelsea odds, Mikel Arteta's men to win and BTTS @ 21/10 seems like a decent option for a semi-final where Chelsea simply have to score to have a chance of going through.
Another bet worth considering is corners. Arsenal (148) and Chelsea (141) are in the top three in the Premier League for corners taken this season, and you can get 5/4 for there to be over 10.5 in total at the Emirates.
