Chelsea vs Arsenal Free Streams: How to Watch Carabao Cup Semi Final 2025/26

In just his second game in charge, Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea hosted Arsenal in the first leg of their 2025/26 Carabao Cup semi-final tie. There were seven yellow cards and a first-half red for Moises Caicedo the last time these bitter rivals met, a bad mood that saw 10-man Chelsea take the lead through a Trevoh Chalobah header and Mikel Merino hit back minutes later – resulting in their third draw in as many meetings at Stamford Bridge.

The Rosenior era kicked off with a 5-1 beating of Championship side Charlton on Saturday, before Mikel Arteta’s men hammered Portsmouth 4-1 on Sunday, but in both cases the final result masked some familiar flaws.
