Is Arsenal vs Chelsea on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Carabao Cup semi-final

Arsenal will hope to stave off a Chelsea comeback as they bid to book their place in the Carabao Cup final and keep their quadruple hopes alive.

The Gunners go into their semi-final second leg with the advantage after sealing a narrow 3-2 victory at Stamford Bridge in the first meeting, though Alejandro Garnacho’s brace that night means Liam Rosenior’s side are still very much in this tie.

Arsenal’s unshakeable home record has also been pierced of late, with the club suffering their first defeat at the Emirates of the season to Manchester United nine days ago.

Mikel Arteta’s side bounced back from that blow by thrashing Leeds on the weekend and will hope to make easy work of their London rivals in their pursuit of silverware.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Arsenal vs Chelsea?

Arsenal’s clash with Chelsea kicks off at 8pm on Tuesday 3 February at the Emirates Stadium in London.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the UK can watch the game on Sky Sports Main Event as well as ITV1. Fans can also stream the game on Sky Go, if you have a subscription, and ITVX.

Confirmed line-ups

Arsenal XI: Arrizabalaga; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice, Eze; Madueke, Gyokeres, Martinelli.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Hato, Cucurella, Caicedo, Santos, Enzo, Delap, Pedro.

Team news

Mikel Arteta has made three changes to the side that beat Leeds 4-0, with Kepa Arrizabalaga replacing David Raya in goal while Ebere Eze comes in for Kai Havertz in midfield. The last change is on the left of the forward line, where Gabriel Martinelli comes in for Leandro Trossard.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior makes four changes to the starting XI that launched that comeback against West Ham. Benoit Badiashile makes way for Wesley Fofana in defence, while Marc Cucurella replaces Jamie Gittens and presumably moves to left wing-back in a back five.

Elsewhere, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho drop out in favour of Joao Pedro and Andrey Santos.
