Chelsea will play Arsenal in the first leg of the Carabao Cup as the two sides meet for the second time in just a Week.

The pair clashed in the Premiership last Wednesday at the Emirates Stadium where it ended 2-2 after Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin scored a late goal to salvage a point for the Gunners.

Both teams will play again tonight at 8:00 pm at Stamford Bridge in the Semi Final of the first leg of the Carabao Cup.

The last two meetings between the two have all ended in a draw.

Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata made the headlines for the wrong reasons and a subject of mockery from football fans after missing three clear-cut chances in last Week's meeting.

Chelsea fans around the globe poured out their anger on the 70 million pound striker and blamed him for their draw.

The former Real Madrid man had a horrible day.

Three times he was left one-on-one with Petr Cech. Twice he hit the ball wide of the right post.

During one of the last attacks of the game, he hit a half volley directly at the goalkeeper.

After the game the forward posted on Twitter that he will work harder and this might be an opportunity for him to redeem his image.

The big question still remains can Alvaro Morata win back the support of Chelsea fans tonight?
