@Footy_Tipster gives his best predictions ahead of this round of fixtures in the EFL Cup..
With a place in the EFL Cup final up for grabs, Arsenal and Chelsea will go head-to-head once again on Tuesday night in this EFL Cup second leg, having produced a 3-2 thriller in their first outing.
Now, let’s take a closer look at some EFL Cup odds and betting angles for Tuesday’s fixture:
Arsenal v Chelsea – Tuesday, 8pm
Punters can bet on Chelsea v Arsenal with William Hill
- Arsenal have the advantage in this second leg having won the first leg 3-2 back in January, avoiding defeat on Tuesday will secure a place in the EFL Cup final for the Gunners for the first time since the 2017/2018 campaign, whilst they haven’t won this competition since 1993.
- Mikel Arteta’s side return to the Emirates Stadium after a weekend which could prove to be vital come the end of the season, a 4-0 victory away at Leeds whilst both Aston Villa and Manchester City dropped points, means they’ve extended their gap at the top of the Premier League table to six points.
- The Gunners have a solid record against their London rivals Chelsea, their first leg win extended their unbeaten run to nine games now in all competitions, whilst they’ve won each of their last three against the Blues on home soil.
——————————– - The first leg was Liam Rosenior’s first game in charge on home soil but that defeat remains his only defeat in the seven games he’s been in charge of the Blues, his side were actually booed off at half-time on Saturday having trailed West Ham 2-0, before a second half turnaround made it five wins in a row.
- Chelsea fans will be hoping he can take their side to claiming their first domestic trophy since 2017/2018, they’ll have to win here for the first time since 2021 if they have any chance of that but three away wins under Rosenior whilst scoring three or more goals in each of those victories will give his side some belief.
- The Blues have kept just one clean sheet in one of their last ten away fixtures and with five of the last seven meetings here in north London producing at least three goals, we should be in for another classic between these two.
