⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season

[Hanadawa]

Chelsea likely won't have replacements for all the players from the first leg. Chelsea have no injury concerns, and they fielded their best squad in the first leg, so they'll likely field the same players in the second leg. I think Chelsea played well in the first leg, but their defense was poor. I think even though Arsenal are favorites, Chelsea can still pull off a surprise. They can assess their mistakes in the first leg. Chelsea are not underdogs, and it won't be difficult for them to beat a big team like Arsenal.

Technically both underdog teams in the EFL Carabao Cup have a chance to reverse the score or at least get the tie with their rivals because we are talking about 1 or 2 goals difference. It is not that big especially for a team like Chelsea. The problem is that Chelsea right now is weaker than what they used to be while gunners are keeping a high level.
Same for Newcastle United and Manchester City, with the exception of the two teams showing poor results from time to time..

Chelsea have had good results in their last matches. They beat Napoli in the Champions League and Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Although considered a level below Arsenal, Chelsea still has a chance to pull off a surprise. Arsenal can't always maintain a high level of play. Last week, Arsenal suffered a surprising loss to Manchester United, and I think Chelsea can try to expose Arsenal's weaknesses in that match. Arsenal have the advantage of being at home. And they can park the bus because they already have a lead. But with a one-goal deficit, anything can happen. And as I said before, Chelsea is different from Newcastle. Newcastle's chances of overcoming a two-goal deficit are almost impossible. So, I think a place in the final is already secured for Manchester City.

Another EFL week. I'm doing small parlay here caused by the result seems quite easy to be determined. Doing a BTTS as my first pick for Arsenal vs Chelsea. Honestly, i'm rooting Arsenal to win, but since i also read a news Rosenior is also gonna use his best line up. So i think Chelsea can score even if they lose. It's my reason to pick BTTS.
Also i pick City to win against Newcastle. Since Newcastle has been so horrendous in the last game by lost 4-1 to the Liverpool. So i think brutal weekend has destroyed their mentality. It makes me a bit illogical to expect them to bounce back, that's why i pick City.

If i will win my parlay, i will get 3.03 in total, which is very tempting considering the chance for my parlay to his is quite big. Have you prepared for EFL games next games?

I don't think wrong your bet placing exactly both teams to score for the match Arsenal vs Chelsea, both team at the first leg match of EFL Cup scoring until 5 goals with score 2-3 and Arsenal success winning the first leg match. I think the same possibility for second leg match will score up to three until four goals and Chelsea won't loss opportunity qualify to final match round.

For the second prediction no doubt Manchester City will win the match against Newcastle United, has advantage by winning first leg match make The Citizen without pressure for playing second leg match and I think Pep Guardiola keep playing full team for winning this match exactly has bad performance last match in premier league.

Manchester City may be the favourites to win the EFL game but I think their match against Newcastle will be one of the most challenging. We are all aware of Manchester City's recent mediocre performance and last night the team drew dramatically against Tottenham but it was true that the City giants won the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final and they are two goals ahead there, so it's easy for us to predict that they might be the right contenders to win the second leg of the Carabao Cup as well. However, if you look at Newcastle's statistics, you can see that they drew their last Champions League match against reigning UCL champions PSG, so they could be a threat against City in this upcoming Carabao Cup match.

The second leg of the semi-final, Caraboa cup. Arsenal won at Chelsea in the first leg. If they win against Chelsea tomorrow, it will be straight to the final. Arsenal will face either Newcastle or Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

Yes, Manchester City seem to be the favourite team to win the match, but I can't say that they will actually win it because football is unpredictable. And by the way, Newcastle is not a small team that we need to underestimate, so I will not be surprised if Newcastle end up winning this match because they are also good. Whenever Manchester City is playing average teams, it is always predicted that it is Manchester City that will win the match or any other big team. They hardly consider whether the big teams are in great form or not, or whether the small teams they are playing against are also in great form or not, but just judge them by their past performances. See what happened last season: nobody expected that Crystal Palace would win the FA final, but see what happened at the end of the last season. What I am trying to say is that in the upcoming match, I will say that Newcastle can also do something, but let’s see how it will go.

Chelsea stand a chance of coming back into this game yes, but it’s solely dependent on the manager’s selection. If Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior decided to go by the team that started in their last premier league game against west Ham during the weekend then I don’t see Chelsea coming close to stage a comeback in this game. And if eventually Arsenal got to score first then it’s over for Chelsea. Liam Rosenior the Chelsea coach needs to be critical when selecting his first eleven in this very game if truly he wants to over turn Arsenals one goal lead deficit against Chelsea, a very strong starting eleven will do justice to that because I have the feeling that Arsenal might not go all out with their Best 11.

I don't feel the same way, Chelsea may be making efforts in their recent games, first leg which they lost to Arsenal has already gave away the chance of qualifying for the finals. Chelsea lost while at home, moving to Arsenal's own ground doesn't increase the belief I have for them to equal the aggregate and possibly score more goals to win the semi final.

Arsenal seems to be moving into the last round, they will meet Manchester City in the final.

A draw could also see them advance. In the Carabao Cup final, Chelsea and Arsenal will face Manchester City.

At home, Arsenal should be able to dominate the match far more than away. The Emirates have defeated many visiting teams. This would be Arsenal's second win, but they must be wary of Chelsea; they are unpredictable, especially since Chelsea almost caught up yesterday.
Newcastle and Manchester City seem to be on course for another win. This match is also being held at the Etihad, so the guarantee of victory against Newcastle is very high.

You don't think Arsenal will go with their best 11 in a semi final match that they need to win to stand a chance of winning a trophy this season, but Chelsea will go with their best 11? It's laughable because Arsenal will field a strong team or the same team that defeated Chelsea during the first leg at Stanford bridge. Chelsea is a disgrace is a disgrace, if they wanted to do something they would have done that when they had the chance at Stanford bridge, but they failed woefully and now Chelsea fans are hoping that Arsenal should not field their best 11. If you were Arsenal manager will you make that mistake of going with your second team, knowing what is at stake in this match?

Arsenal - Chelsea game will be played in Emirates Stadium tomorrow. The first leg result was 3-2 for gunners which makes them favorite in the second leg. The odds are between 1.6-1.7 for gunners and up to 5 for Chelsea. Meanwhile both teams to score seems to be a good option since the odds are at 1.7. Hopefully Chelsea will score since their latest matches weren't that bad.
For Manchester City and Newcastle United, well everything could happen. I don't count a lot on that game because City is unstable.

Chelsea recently recovered from a two goal deficit game to win the game, they will have the believe that they can do it to Arsenal since also Manchester United recently proved that Arsenal can be defeated at home. It is going to be a tough game with Arsenal I expect dominating most of the play but Chelsea will have their moments of magic.
For Arsenal, if their attackers are able to be sharp tomorrow as they are looking recently, Chelsea will not stand a chance. For Arsenal supporters, the good news for them after not seeing Saka in their last game, is that he is not seriously injured.

The second leg of the semi-final, Caraboa cup. Arsenal won at Chelsea in the first leg. If they win against Chelsea tomorrow, it will be straight to the final. Arsenal will face either Newcastle or Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

Something interesting is that this season, across all competitions, Arsenal has only suffered one home defeat, which was against Manchester United. Their worst home result was a draw; they hadn't lost at home until Manchester United beat them. Today Arsenal plays at home again, and I hope they can beat Chelsea. I bet on Arsenal to win with odds of @1.66.

Arsenal FC = @1.66

Draw = @3.90

Chelsea FC = @4.60

I wonder how many people are betting on Chelsea to win and how much they're betting on, and it's a very high odd, with a profit of over 3x.

Despite trailing on aggregate, Chelsea will still chase a win to advance to the final. Winning the Carabao Cup would also be an achievement for the Blues, as chasing titles in other competitions would certainly be very difficult. Meanwhile, Arsenal are very strong and have a capable squad to make a big impact. However, Arteta must carefully consider his starting lineup, as they also have to focus on the Premier League and other competitions. Chasing all the trophies will certainly not be easy, as injuries to some of his key players could throw their plans into disarray.

I’d consider three meaningful betting options for their clash today. The first is Arsenal to qualify, the second is Arsenal win or draw, and the third is BTTS. I’ll probably go with the second one, but I still have time to think it over. Betting on Chelsea is definitely profitable, but way too risky given that Arsenal are playing at the Emirates, where they love to win. To Chelsea’s credit, they’re in good form right now, so it won’t be an easy task for Arsenal.  So they might want end up in a draw which may undermine their attacking performance.

We can't guarantee that Arsenal will beat Chelsea easily, as the second leg will take place at the Emirates. Arsenal are in top form, and all their starting lineups can be fielded. However, Arsenal's hopes of advancing to the final are high.
A draw could also see them advance. In the Carabao Cup final, Chelsea and Arsenal will face Manchester City.

The match between Arsenal and Chelsea is going yo be a very tricky match, but I think Arsenal will.advance to the final. The truth is that Arsenal already have an advantage going into the match and they will also be playing at home, so I think they should advance to the final,  but I don't think it's going to be an easy match for Arsenal,  because I think Chelsea will want to give it all they have got to try to beat Arsenal. What's very certain is that we are going to have a very interesting match, but I will not comment on which team will win today, but I strongly believe that Arsenal will advance to the finals.

[blomen]

i don't expect arsenal to beat chelsea easily today. i think it will be a tough match for both sides. chelsea is a team that has no chance of catching arsenal in either the league or europe, but today they have a great opportunity. they have performed well in their last few matches and have won five games in a row. the team is in good form.

arsenal, having won the first leg and being the home team, i don't think they'll take many risks today. a draw suits arsenal, and they might even force the match to end 0-0 or 1-1. that's how i see it, and i don't think this match will be high-scoring.

This is where arsenal will get it wrong if they approach this game with such mindset, because Chelsea right now is very strong, so if arsenal wants to progress to the final in this game, they needs to be on the front foot, like doing more of the attacking and pinning Chelsea down in their own half, because if they let Chelsea comes out flying, they will really be punished because Chelsea is one team that knows how to come back from a losing position, and their last few games has proven that, so arsenal can't afford playing with the mentality of them looking for a draw, if not, they might be surprisingly knockout today, even though they are already ahead, courtesy of the first leg 2-3 victory.

I don’t think it’s about selection, which ever team that Liam Rosenior selects against Arsenal I don’t see how Chelsea would come back into the game, Arsenal are a very strong team compared to Chelsea, I watched Chelsea’s performance against Westham it was a very terrible performance in the first half, and they were only lucky to beat Westham because Westham are also a very terrible team, because I don’t understand how you’re winning tow goals in the first half and you end up loosing the game, that is to tell you how Westham are very bad and terrible with their performance, no wonder they are sitting in the relegation zone, Arsenal is a different team entirely, after beating Chelsea at Stanford Bridge, I still don’t understand how Chelsea fans feels they will beat Arsenal at the Emirates and Qualify for the Finals of the Carabao Cup, This is the end of the road for Chelsea, because I don’t see how possible it would be for them to beat Arsenal at the Emirates.
