Match Preview

Arsenal will clash against Chelsea in the EFL Cup at the Emirates Stadium on February 3, 2026 GMT.

Arsenal have won 28 of their last 37 matches and secured 1 win this season in the EFL Cup out of 2 home matches.

On the other hand, Chelsea has garnered 20 wins in 37 matches and have a 100 percent win ratio in their last 3 EFL Cup away matches.

Both teams have been strong in front of goal as Arsenal has scored 2+ goals in 100 percent of their last 3 matches, while Chelsea has witnessed Over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 3 away matches.

This encounter promises to be an intriguing battle between two formidable sides with an attacking mindset.

Prediction: Arsenal and Chelsea to draw 2-2.

Arsenal head into the second leg with a narrow 3-2 advantage after edging Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and their overall season form remains extremely strong across all competitions.

Mikel Arteta’s side bounced back from a brief domestic wobble with an emphatic win over Leeds and have been particularly reliable at the Emirates.

Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in confident mood under Liam Rosenior after a run of victories, but they face a tough task given their poor recent record against Arsenal. With the Gunners holding the lead and boasting strong home form, they look well placed to finish the job.
