Arsenal vs Chelsea
Arsenal hold a 3-2 lead following their first-leg victory at Stamford Bridge, where goals from Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi secured a narrow win after an Alejandro Garnacho-inspired fightback from the Blues.
Despite holding just a one-goal advantage, the Gunners will be extremely confident of retaining their lead and securing their place in the final, especially given their formidable record at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 19 home matches across all competitions, while they have also won all of the last three meetings with Chelsea at the Emirates, leading us to expect a home victory and the Gunners to book their place in the final at Wembley.
Arsenal to qualify, 1.10 – 3ZBZ83D
Viktor Gyokeres may have endured a difficult start to life at Arsenal, but the striker has started to hit form in front of goal in recent matches, with Gyokeres finding the back of the net in four of his last six matches, including a goal in the first leg against the Blues.
Given the Swedish forward’s improved form in front of goal, combined with Chelsea’s vulnerabilities at the back – conceding five goals in their last three games across all competitions – we are backing Gyokeres to score again here.
Viktor Gyokeres to score anytime, 2.50 – 3ZBZKB9
Manchester City vs Newcastle United
Manchester City hold a commanding 2-0 lead thanks to the dominant win at St James’ Park in the first leg, leaving the Citizens in a dominant position heading into the second leg at their home ground.
Pep Guardiola’s side are unbeaten in their last nine matches at the Etihad Stadium, while they have also won all of their last 11 encounters with Newcastle United at their home stadium, including a 4-0 victory in their last Etihad meeting in February 2025.
The Magpies have also struggled on the road, winning just one of their last seven matches away from home, leading us to expect Man City to win this one and ultimately secure their place in the final.
Manchester City to win & over 1.5 goals, 2.03 – 3ZFHKGG
Antoine Semenyo has enjoyed a sensational start as a Manchester City player, with the January signing scoring four goals in his first five appearances for his new club, including the opening goal in the first leg against Newcastle United.
Given his remarkable beginning for the Citizens, combined with his superb finishing ability in front of goal, we are backing the electric forward to get on the scoresheet.
