Arsenal v Chelsea - Preview and possible lineups

After a disappointing few weeks for both sides, they both head into the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final off the back of confidence-boosting wins in the Premier League.

A stuffy affair at Stamford Bridge means the score is 0-0 heading into the return fixture, but Arsene Wenger expects something different at the Emirates.

"It's an important game and we want to go to the final. We have an opportunity to do it at home against Chelsea. I think the two teams know each other very well," the Frenchman said.

"The first leg was very blocked, the second leg will certainly be more open, because at some stage, the teams will have to open up to try to win the game. It should be much more spectacular than the first one."

Morata and Fabregas will miss out with injuries and Andreas Christensen, Gary Cahill, Danny Drinkwater and Thibaut Courtois are all expected to be fit for the fixture.

After appearing in the quarter-finals for his former club Manchester United against Bristol City, Mkhitaryan cannot feature for the Gunners, who will definitely be without Olivier Giroud (hamstring) and Danny Welbeck (groin).

Potential lineups:

Arsenal: David Ospina, Bellerin, Koscielny, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Wilshere, Iwobi, Ozil, Lacazette.

Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Bakayoko, Marcos Alonso, Willian, Pedro, Hazard.
