The Carabao Cup semi-finals will be settled this week and London is calling as two Premier League giants come head-to-head at the Emirates.
With the first-leg matches settling nothing, it’s all to play for when Arsenal host Chelsea but before that, Bristol City hope to upset the betting odds again when Manchester City visit Ashton Gate.
Arsenal vs Chelsea (0-0 1st leg)
City are the hot favorites, with mobile betting fans, to lift the trophy as the two biggest threats are about to slug it out after a goalless first leg. Both Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte are on the hunt for a striker Arsene because Alexis Sanchez leaving only needs a formality and Antonio because his team have recently completed a three-match sequence of 0-0 draws.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Borussia’s Pierre Emerick Aubamayang could be the men to bolster Arsenal’s attack, while Chelsea are chasing Roma’s Edin Dzeko. Whoever comes in will have plenty of supply from the world class creative players at each club. Mesut Ozil was in outstanding form as Arsenal swept aside Crystal Palace at the weekend while Chelsea’s midfield maestro, Eden Hazard, helped himself to two as the Blues hit Brighton for four.
It’s going to be a cracker. The Gunners are at 2.33 to advance with Chelsea at 1.66, but I’m not so sure about that…
Bristol City vs Manchester City (1-2 1st leg)
It took a 92nd-minute winner courtesy of Sergio Aguero to give the Sky Blues a narrow first leg lead at the Etihad and Bobby Reid, scorer of Bristol’s penalty in that game, believes his side is still in the tie. And why not? In the previous round, Korey Smith’s dramatic winner saw off Manchester United.
Bristol City is at 1.80 to win with a +2.00 goals handicap, which could be on, but I’m afraid that won’t be good enough to see them through.
