My people! Na today we go sabi who go carry last for this EFL Cup semi-final as Arsenal dey face Chelsea for the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners carry 3-2 from the first leg wey happen for Stamford Bridge, but you sabi say Chelsea no be any small pickin for this matter.
As dem line up for the pitch, Arsenal wan use dem home advantage wey dem get to finish the work. Mikel Arteta don prepare him guys well, e get Arrizabalaga for goal, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, and Hincapie for back line; for midfield, Eze, Zubimendi, and Rice; and for front, Madueke, Gyokeres, and Martinelli go dey expect plenty chances to score.
On the other hand, Chelsea no wan carry last! Dem bring Sanchez come goal, Fofana, Chalobah, and Hato for defense; midfield get Gusto, Santos, Caicedo, and Cucurella; and up front, they go depend on Fernandez, Pedro, and Delap to do the magic. You fit feel the tension already, abi?
Last week, Chelsea buy plenty catching moment to hype dem before this match as dem win West Ham from 3-2 after dey don dey down two goals. Na that kind comeback wey fit ginger dem to pull another stunt today. But make we no forget say Arsenal dey chop dem like pepper soup, especially with their perfect set pieces wey don don vex plenty teams this season.
Arteta face pressure to carry dis trophy, especially with the hopes of a quadruple dey hover around dem. This go be dem chance to silent the critics wey dey follow dem like shadows. If dem no perform well today, e fit enter dem for head like say na dia tribe dey perform juju.
But my eye dey on Chelsea too, as dem don find am difficult to find their feet for the league. However, since Rosenior don take over, dem don get six wins out of seven matches. The only loss na the first leg wey Arsenal scatter dem. I no go lie, if dem fit carry dat kind intensity wey dem show against West Ham, e fit change the narrative for dem.
As dem gather for this match, make we watch how dem go balance the game. Chelsea need to start sharper if dem wan turn the table, and Arsenal get to keep their cool to maintain their slim lead. Dem fans dey expect plenty fire today, no be small!
