Arsenal and Chelsea meet for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
Mikel Arteta’s side carry a narrow one-goal advantage into the fixture, having prevailed 3-2 when the pair met for the first leg at Stamford Bridge three weeks ago.
Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi scored for the Gunners in that one, while tricky Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho netted both goals for Liam Rosenior’s Blues.
Since then, Arsenal have recorded wins over Inter and Kairat Almaty in Europe, seeing them finish top of the league phase and move clear in the Champions League winner odds market.
Their league record hasn’t been quite as consistent, as they have drawn against Nottingham Forest, lost 3-2 against Manchester United and have most recently beaten Leeds 4-0.
Sitting six points clear, Arsenal’s quadruple odds are at 50/1 heading into February.
As for the Blues, they have won five in succession since their first-leg loss at the Bridge.
The West Londoners have bounced back with Premier League wins over Brentford, Crystal Palace and West Ham, along with continental victories over Pafos and Serie A giants Napoli.
Triumphing 3-2 over Napoli last week saw Chelsea set a new Champions League record.
It also saw them seal a top eight finish to book their spot in the last 16 alongside the Gunners, while they are now in fifth place in the Premier League table, one point outside the top four.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips
1. Viktor Gyokeres – Anytime Goalscorer
Gyokeres is Arsenal’s central striker and the primary target for fast breaks and early balls into the box.
With Chelsea pushing numbers forward, he is likely to receive chances attacking space rather than crowded defences.
Why: Central striker role and transition-based chances make him Arsenal’s most likely scorer.
2. Cole Palmer – Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Palmer remains Chelsea’s main attacking outlet and will shoulder shooting responsibility as Chelsea chase the tie.
He frequently looks to test the goalkeeper himself when space opens rather than relying on build-up play.
Why: Increased urgency and attacking freedom point toward at least one effort on target.
3. Declan Rice – Over 1.5 Fouls Committed
Rice will be tasked with slowing Chelsea’s tempo and breaking up repeated midfield attacks.
Protecting a narrow aggregate lead often forces midfielders into reactive challenges.
Why: Game management and defensive disruption increase foul potential.
4. Ben White to be Shown a Card
White will be involved in repeated defensive actions against Chelsea’s wide rotations and overlapping runs.
Late-game scenarios protecting a one-goal lead often result in tactical fouls.
Why: Defensive workload and game-state pressure raise booking risk.
5. Kepa Arrizabalaga – Over 2.5 Saves
Arsenal are likely to target quick shots during transitions rather than sustained spells of pressure.
Those moments often force the goalkeeper into immediate reaction saves rather than relying on defensive blocks.
Why: Arsenal’s counter-focused attacking phases increase the likelihood of Kepa being called into action multiple times.
6. Match Total – Over 2.5 Goals
Chelsea’s need to score prevents the game from settling into a slow, controlled rhythm.
Arsenal’s counter-attacking threat ensures chances remain at both ends.
Why: One team chasing and the other exploiting space supports a multi-goal outcome.
