Chelsea vs Arsenal Confirmed Lineups for January 14

These are the Chelsea vs Arsenal confirmed lineups for their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. This will provide a first big test for Liam Rosenior following his appointment as the successor to Enzo Maresca. A 5-1 win over Charlton provided a good start to life but the real question will come here as he takes on one of the most untouchable teams in Europe. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have been one of Europe’s in-form teams as they stand atop the Premier League, remain in all cups, and remain undefeated in the Champions League.

Chelsea Team News

Rob Sanchez starts in goal with a back line of Josh Acheampong, Trevoh Chalobah, Wes Fofana, and Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez partners Andrey Santos as Estevao, Joao Pedro, and Pedro Neto support Marc Guiu up front.

Notable Changes

A number of injuries leave the Blues short of options as there is no Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, Reece James, or Malo Gustoin the squad with Moises Caicedo injured. This provides a chance for Estevao and Pedro to start behing Guiu who scored at the weekend. The 4-2-3-1 setup remains with Acheampong getting a run at right-back recently due to injuries.

Kepa Arrizabalaga starts in goal with a back line of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, and Jurrien Timber. Declan Rice partners Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard in midfield. Bukayo Saka, Trossard, and Viktor Gyokeres make up the front three.
