What seemed routine at the time turned out to be Enzo Maresca\u2019s final victory as head coach, coming only weeks before his relationship with the board collapsed. Before his departure, he had also guided Chelsea past Lincoln City and Wolverhampton Wanderers in earlier rounds, results that kept their League Cup run alive ahead of their first home match of the 2025\u201326 competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blues have often gone deep in this tournament, winning four of their last five EFL Cup semi finals, with Arsenal providing the lone setback in 2017\u201318. That history adds weight to the Gunners\u2019 visit, which will be Liam Rosenior\u2019s first Chelsea fixture against Premier League opposition. His reshaped side arrive after a convincing 5-1 FA Cup win over Charlton Athletic, a result that ended a poor run of form. Chelsea\u2019s season remains unpredictable, marked by goals at both ends, as they have scored and conceded in seven consecutive matches and found the net in each of their last 12 games at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal are now just three matches away from a long awaited League Cup triumph, and there is a sense that this could finally be their moment. Mikel Arteta\u2019s side have fallen short at this stage before, losing semi final ties to Liverpool in 2021\u201322 and to Newcastle United last season, but belief is growing that experience may now work in their favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gunners remain active on multiple fronts and continued their strong form at the weekend, overturning an early deficit to beat Portsmouth 4-1 in the FA Cup. That victory marked eight wins from their last nine games in all competitions and featured Gabriel Martinelli\u2019s first hat trick for the club. Arsenal have also been reliable scorers away from home, finding the net in 13 consecutive road matches, including a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in November. That result extended their unbeaten run against Chelsea to eight games, with Arsenal not having lost there since August 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-team-news\">Chelsea team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea will be without Moises Caicedo for Arsenal\u2019s visit after the midfielder picked up his second yellow card of the League Cup against Cardiff, triggering a suspension. Marc Cucurella is back in contention after serving his ban, but Caicedo joins Mykhaylo Mudryk, Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill on the absent list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liam Rosenior is expected to name his strongest available side despite rotating heavily at the weekend. Malo Gusto, Reece James and Cole Palmer were rested as a precaution and are not thought to have any fitness issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arsenal-team-news\">Arsenal team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kai Havertz returned from a knee injury as a substitute at the weekend, but Viktor Gyokeres is still expected to lead the line despite his recent struggles. Arsenal are monitoring the fitness of Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera, while teenage prospect Max Dowman remains sidelined with an ankle problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mikel Arteta has continued to back Kepa in the cup competitions, and the goalkeeper is likely to keep his place despite a shaky moment against Portsmouth, with his manager still showing clear faith in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last 6 Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal have dominated recent encounters, remaining unbeaten in the last five and winning two of the last three away at Stamford Bridge.
