Chelsea will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run when they take on their London rivals Arsenal in the Carabao Cup this weekend.

The clash will take place at Stamford Bridge while kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 (GMT).

Chelsea come into the game unbeaten in their last six games while Arsenal suffered a shock 4-2 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forrest over the weekend.

The Blues were held to a 3-3 draw by Arsenal a fortnight ago and were defeated in the FA Cup final by their London rivals last season.
