Carabao Cup: Arsenal Edge Out North London Rival Cheslea

Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger admitted there is a little bit of relief at Arsenal now the Alexis Sanchez transfer saga is over and he has left the club.

Arsenal fell behind early in their second leg as Eden Hazard put Chelsea in front, but the Gunners fought back thanks to an Antonio Rudiger own goal and Granit Xhaka's second-half effort to reach Wembley, where they will face Manchester City. The first leg at Stamford Bridge ended 0-0.

"I think there are different situations, sometimes I can have an impact on the transfer market but sometimes I don't have an impact on this".

Alvaro Morata was out.

Conte was asked about Barkley's performance after the 2-1 defeat and said the 24-year old has a lot to improve on.

Wenger has an outstanding record in the FA Cup with Arsenal - even though they crashed out of this season's competition earlier this month - but has never won the League Cup, which he has often used to blood young players.

Dzeko, together with his Brazilian team-mate Emerson Palmieri, is reported to be worth a £44 million (S$82 million) bid plus add-ons of £13.2 million, .

"It is unfinished business because we didn't win, but we are again at Wembley and many times we were there", said Wenger. "And he's going to have so many clubs wanting him because previous year, what he did with Chelsea - after the start they had, changing the system, it wasn't the level of Leicester's win but it was probably one of the best managerial performances in terms of turning the season around by a system change, that I've seen in an awfully long time". "I felt that in January we paid a heavy price for the uncertainty that was existing in our dressing room", Wenger said.

"Now in the next six or eight games we have the next rounds of the FA Cup, we have the Champions League and we have the Premier League".

Things did not quite go according to plan for Antonio Conte and Chelsea yesterday, with Arsenal striking lucky against the Blues to secure a spot in the League Cup final against Manchester City.

Unfortunately, no player in blue was able to rise to his level on the night, especially with Willian having to go off injured before the half-hour mark and his replacement Ross Barkley making an underwhelming debut.

"I wouldn't see it as surreal being back here and in the first team. However, we are not close to signing anybody".
