Arsenal have received a double injury boost ahead of the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea on the road.

The Gunners will be in action at Stamford Bridge tonight. Ahead of the game, the club have included two key players in the matchday squad.

William Saliba and Leandro Trossard were doubtful to face the Blues, having missed the FA Cup third round tie against Portsmouth.

However, the duo have recovered in time and could be involved against the Blues in today’s much-awaited derby at the Bridge.

Arsenal are unbeaten in the last eight meetings against the Blues, but have not won in the previous three trips on the road to them.

They will be aiming to put things right and get themselves in a commanding position before the return leg next month.

The Gunners bowed out at the semi-final stage of the League Cup last term, and will surely want to avoid another repeat this time.
