Chelsea have now learned their Carabao Cup semi final opponents after some late drama last night in what was an entertaining game. Chelsea fans would have been watching on as Arsenal played against Crystal Palace just two days before Christmas Day.

Manchester City is 3rd with 41 points, and Chelsea is 5th with 30 points. Man City’s record is 13 wins, two draws, and four losses, and Chelsea’s record is eight wins, six draws, and five losses. Both teams have injuries, suspensions, and a change in manager, as Chelsea no longer has Enzo Maresca as their manager.
