Chelsea v Arsenal – Probable Lineups – Wenger missing key names while Conte receives major boost

Chelsea host their London rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge tonight as they look to return to winning ways.

The Carabao Cup semi-final clash is scheduled to kick-off at 20:00 (GMT). Antonio Conte’s side needed a late goal from Alvaro Morata to see off Bournemouth in the quarter-final’s. Arsenal meanwhile registered a 1-0 win over West Ham to set up tonight’s encounter.

Arsene Wenger will be hoping to see a reaction from his players following their humiliating defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forrest in the FA Cup over the weekend.

The French tactician will be unable to call upon Sead Kolasinac, Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroud and Nacho Monreal due to injuries. Meanwhile, Granit Xhaka, Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi will face late fitness tests.
