Chelsea vs. Arsenal: Your Complete Guide to Catching the Epic London Derby Live

Chelsea and Arsenal are no strangers to facing each other in major competitions.

These London adversaries clashed in the 2019 Europa League final and have squared off in four domestic cup finals since 2000. Their upcoming significant encounter won't feature silverware directly, but both clubs will compete across two matches for a place in the Carabao Cup final.

This semi-final holds particular importance for each side for varying reasons. For the Blues, Liam Rosenior seeks to kickstart his managerial journey in west London with silverware, while Arsenal pursue a glimpse of success before this season's crucial period.

The Gunners have generally dominated their local rivals in recent encounters, though three of the last five matches have concluded in draws. Chelsea's most recent victory came in 2021, and to reach the final, they likely need to claim a home win on Wednesday evening.

Here's your guide to watching the opening leg of this closely matched Carabao Cup semi-final.
