2025-26 League Cup Semifinal Draw- Chelsea to potentially face Arsenal in repeat of 2018 game?

The semi-final draw for the 2025/26 Carabao Cup (EFL League Cup) has been conducted and Chelsea could potentially square off against London rivals Arsenal in a mouth-watering last four clash.

This is also Arsenal’s second successive Carabao Cup semifinal- they also reached the semis last season (24/25), but lost 4-0 on aggregate to eventual winners Newcastle.
