Arsenal vs. Chelsea: What's the story?

Arsenal will have an advantage to take into the second leg, but it is a slender one, with Alejandro Garnacho's late goal meaning that Chelsea are still very much in the tie.

Mikel Arteta simply must lead Arsenal to silverware this season, and the EFL Cup represents the chance to get an early trophy in the cabinet for the 2025-26 campaign.

Arsenal's recent form has been patchy, with their overall performance level concerning, but there have been a lot of positives since Liam Rosenior's arrival as Chelsea boss.

Matches between Arsenal and Chelsea are always special, with two of the biggest clubs in London and indeed England locking horns, and the winner will advance to the final of the League Cup to take on either Manchester City or Newcastle United.
