On Wednesday evening, one London club will reach the final of the Carabao Cup, at Wembley.

But will it be Chelsea or Arsenal?

Circumstances have contrived whereby the two sides are getting very familiar with each other, this will be the third meeting in a matter of a couple of week, with the previous two ending in draws.

Ahead of the clash, at the Emirates Stadium, we`ve cobbled together some early team-news.

Starting with our hosts Arsenal:

Having signed Henrikh Mkhitaryan, from Manchester United but seeing Alexis Sanchez go the other way, the Armenian will not feature for his new club in this game having played for United in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, in the Arsenal squad, Arsene Wenger will be hoping that Aaron Ramsey and Nacho Monreal will have recovered from illness and a leg injury respectively, to feature.

Continuing with Chelsea:

At his pre-match press conference, held this afternoon, Antonio Conte had the following to say about his squad for the game.

‘Morata and Fabregas are out, they are not available for Arsenal game. Then I have to check a couple of situations.

‘Morata has a problem in his back. I have to check a couple of situations before making the best decision.’


However, Antonio did add that Andreas Christensen is available for selection despite taking a knock to the head in the 4-0 win, at Brighton, at the weekend.
