Liverpool and Chelsea play Carabao Cup final

The Carabao Cup is traditionally the first cup to win in a calendar year. This time Liverpool and Chelsea are the two teams to play for this trophy. Which is a pretty special fact, since Manchester City played and won every EFL Cup final since 2018. In this article we talk about the semi-finals of both 2022 finalists.

Chelsea versus Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea played Tottenham Hotspur in a double duel to get through to the final. A 2-0 victory at home with goals by Havertz and an Ben Davies own goal, pretty much sealed the deal for Chelsea. Nobody really expected anything from Spurs in the second leg. An early goal by Antonio Rudiger really ended all doubts. Chelsea qualified for the Carabao Cup final with 3-0 on aggregate.

Liverpool versus Arsenal

The first game between Liverpool and Arsenal got called off because of Covid cases at Liverpool. This meant Arsenal got an away match first instead of a home match. Now the fixtures switched around, Arsenal looked to be in the advantage. The first match only increased the chances that Arsenal would go through to the final. Even though Granit Xhaka got sent off in the first half, Arsenal managed to keep a clean sheet and take a 0-0 draw away from Anfield. This result with 10 men, gave the Gunners a real boost. Especially the missing of Salah, Mane and Keita looked to be too much for Liverpool. In the second match, at Emirates Stadium, Liverpool showed they are still a good team, even without these Africa Cup players. Diogo Jota scored two goals giving his team a 0-2 victory in London.
