📢 📢 Arsenal finalist

 

After a tough and intense semifinal, Arsenal booked their spot in the EFL Carabao Cup final. Solid performances across the tie secured qualification, and the Gunners now await their opponent, set to be either Manchester City or Newcastle.

 

📢 ⏱️90´

 

Now it’s full time at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal come through the tie and book their place in the Carabao Cup final after an intense and tight semifinal, showing composure, resilience, and the ability to strike at the decisive moment.

 

📢 ⏱️90´

 

GOOOOOAL FOR ARSENAL! Kai Havertz strikes at the final breath to seal the tie at the Emirates Stadium. The German finishes calmly and sparks celebrations in London, as the Gunners secure their place in the final.

 

⏱️90´

 

The 90 minutes are completed and five additional minutes of stoppage time will be played. Chelsea go all out with long balls, while Arsenal hold firm with defensive order, protecting their aggregate lead under intense late pressure.

 

⏱️85´

 

Another moment of controversy on a rainy night at the Emirates Stadium. Gabriel Martinelli goes down inside the box after what appears to be a clear challenge, but the referee once again waves play on and keeps the game level.

 

⏱️80´

 

Free kick at the edge of the box for Chelsea. Cole Palmer takes it and the ball hits the Arsenal wall. The visitors angrily appeal for a possible handball, but after a silent check, the referee waves it off and awards a corner kick.

 

⏱️75´

 

Miraculous save by Cucurella! Using his back on the goal line, the defender denies the goal that would have sealed the tie for the Gunners. The Emirates erupts as the match slowly begins to pick up in intensity and pace.

 

⏱️70´

 

A very scrappy and stop-start match at the Emirates Stadium. The lack of fluid play benefits Arsenal for now, as they control the tempo and protect their lead on aggregate, while Chelsea struggle to impose the pace they need.

 

⏱️65´

 

Marc Cucurella fires a right-footed shot after a rebound at the edge of the box. The ball goes wide, but it stands as Chelsea’s clearest attempt so far in the second half, in an Emirates Stadium filled with constant tension.

 

⏱️60´

 

For now, Chelsea are not taking major risks and cautiously try to approach the home goal. However, as the minutes go by and if the score remains level, the visitors will need to push forward in attack to avoid elimination.

 

⏱️55´

 

Mikel Arteta, the Spanish strategist of the Gunners, is shown a yellow card after an angry complaint to the referee. The clash continues to be played more on the physical side than through football, with frequent fouls and limited fluid play.

 

⏱️50´

 

The match reaches the 50th minute at the Emirates Stadium and remains very tight. Arsenal and Chelsea cancel each other out, with few clear scoring chances and strong tactical discipline, in a semifinal played with caution rather than attacking risk.

⏱️40´

 

Enzo Fernández is about to take another corner kick conceded by the Ecuadorian defender Hincapié. So far, the first half has given us few clear scoring opportunities; it’s a match where Arsenal and Chelsea are taking too many precautions and risking very little.

 

⏱️35´

 

Brazilian player Gabriel Martinelli  just had the clearest  chance  of the game so far, he was able to shoot, but he never did despite the ease of  shooting in the six – yard box, the Blues were saved.

 

⏱️30´

 

The game remains one of total prevention and caution; neither team wants to take risks, they play safe possession, and the game is also played with a great physical contest that leads to tactical fouls in the build-up or in the middle of the field.

 

⏱️25´

 

Another corner for Chelsea, the Argentine Enzo Fernández was in charge of taking it, the execution was not the most appropriate, the ball passes without any danger through the air of the Emirates Stadium, rain appears in London.

Key player – Arsenal

 

At Arsenal, Leandro Trossard stands out. The 31-year-old Belgian striker is one of the team’s most outstanding players so far in the Premier League, with five goals and four assists in 19 games played, in which he has accumulated a total of 1,261 minutes played.

 

Key player – Leeds United

 

At Leeds United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin stands out. The 28-year-old English striker is one of the team’s most outstanding players so far in the Premier League, with nine goals and one assist in 21 games played, in which he has accumulated a total of 1,500 minutes played.

 

Recent history

 

Recent history shows that in the last ten matches between Leeds United and Arsenal in all competitions, the Gunners have emerged victorious on nine occasions, while the remaining game ended in a draw.

 

If we consider the last five times Leeds United has hosted Arsenal in the Premier League, the Gunners have the advantage with four wins and one draw in the remaining game.

 

To find Leeds United’s most recent victory against Arsenal, we have to go back to 2003. In the 2002-03 season, the Whites won away at the Emirates Stadium. Mark Viduka, Ian Harte, and Harry Kewell scored in the 3-2 victory.

 

Arsenal

 

Arsenal comes into this match with some concerns after losing at home to Manchester United in the previous round. However, they were able to return to winning ways in midweek when they beat Kairat to reaffirm their status as the best team in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

 

The Gunners have stumbled in their last two games, picking up just one point from a possible six, and have lost ground in the title race, so they must win to maintain their lead over Manchester City, who remain their closest challengers, four points behind.

 

Leeds United

 

Leeds comes into this match needing to get back to winning ways after drawing 1-1 with Everton in the previous round. With this result, the team extended its unbeaten streak to two games, but it was also its fourth draw in its last six Premier League matches.

 

After 24 games in the English first division, Daniel Farke’s team is in sixteenth place in the table with 26 points after six wins and eight draws, and needs to win to try to continue climbing the table and avoid relegation.
