Arsenal vs. Chelsea, League Cup semifinal 2nd leg: Confirmed lineups

To the winner, Wembley. To the loser, a big fat nothing.

The winner must be found today, either in 90 minutes, or 30 minutes of extra-time (with away goals counting at that point), or in a penalty kick shootout.

Time for heroes.

It’s time to kick some balls.

Here we go.

Ospina | Monreal, Koscielny (c), Mustafi, Bellerin | Xhaka, Elneny | Wilshere, Ozil, Iwobi | Lacazette

As predicted, Conte goes all-smalls atop the 3-4-3, with Caballero starting in place of the injured Courtois. Ross Barkley makes the very experienced and balanced bench.

Arsenal look to lined up a in back-four for once, instead of their usual matchy three-at-the-back setup. Ramsey, who tends to play well against Chelsea, makes the bench as he returns to fitness.

COME ON, CHELSEA!
