Chelsea will take on either Arsenal or Crystal Palace in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Our place in the last four was confirmed last night, as we defeated Cardiff City in the Welsh capital. Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring for Enzo Maresca's side just before the hour mark, but the hosts responded through a well-placed header from David Turnbull.

However, in the final ten minutes, the Blues re-established our advantage via a neat finish from Pedro Neto before Garnacho completed his brace in stoppage time to secure our place in the semi-finals.

The draw for the last four took place this evening, and Chelsea will face either Arsenal or Crystal Palace – who play their quarter-final tie next week – over two legs for a spot in the final at Wembley in March.

We will host the first leg at Stamford Bridge, which is scheduled to take place the week commencing 12 January 2026. The second leg fixtures will be played the week beginning 2 February 2026.

Full fixture and ticket information will follow in due course.
