Chelsea vs Arsenal player ratings: Jack Wilshere impresses before injury but Alexandre Lacazette flops again

We run the rule over the two teams at Stamford Bridge

Arsenal stood firm in a Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg stalemate with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

A thrilling 2-2 Premier League draw at the Emirates Stadium a week ago was followed by a cagey encounter here.

The Blues had the better opportunities to take a first-leg lead, but Cesc Fabregas and Andreas Christensen spurned headed opportunities either side of half-time in a 0-0 draw.

Fabregas wanted a penalty after a Danny Welbeck challenge in the 88th minute, but play continued when referee Martin Atkinson consulted Video Assistant Referee Neil Swarbrick and it was determined Welbeck got the ball.

The second leg takes place on January 24 at the Emirates Stadium, when a place in the Wembley final, against Manchester City or Bristol City, will be at stake.
