      by

      CHELSEA take on London rivals Brentford in their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash this week. The Blues drew 0-0 with Wolves in the Premier League last weekend, and that came days after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Everton too.

      Brentford, meanwhile, haven’t played since a 2-1 win over Watford nearly two weeks ago, as their game with Man Utd last week was postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak in the Red Devils squad.
      As things stand, Carabao Cup clashes will be going ahead, as teams look to avoid a fixture pile-up in 2022.
      What time does Brentford vs Chelsea kick-off?

      Chelsea’s clash with Brentford will get underway from 7.45pm UK time on Wednesday, December 22.
      The game will take place at the Brentford Community Stadium in London.
      At this moment, the game is still set to go ahead and fans will attend, despite rising coronavirus cases in the EFL and Premier League.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Unfortunately for viewers in the UK, Brentford vs Chelsea will NOT be shown on TV.
      The game is on at the same time as other EFL Carabao Cup games Liverpool vs Leicester and Tottenham vs West Ham.
      And it’s Spurs’ clash with the Hammers that has been chosen for Sky Sports coverage.

      Team news
      Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Jorginho and Callum Hudson-Odoi are all out of the clash as they have tested positive for coronavirus.
      Ruben Loftus-Cheek could miss the game too as he has a knock, while Kai Havertz is out with an illness of his own.
      Trevor Chalobah limped off in the clash against Wolves at the weekend and also isn’t likely to be available.
      Brentford will still be without Ivan Toney, but it’s unclear how many positive coronavirus cases there are among their squad.

      How Arsenal could line up against Sunderland with Smith Rowe and Pepe playing in strong Carabao Cup team

      by

      ARSENAL welcome League One Sunderland to the Emirates on Tuesday night in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. The tournament offers Mikel Arteta and Co a real chance of silverware this season, and as a result the Spaniard is likely to field a strong side.

      Inevitably there will be some changes, but not having had European football means the Gunners can afford to play some of the big guns for the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
      Sunderland also come into the game in good form, currently sitting third in League One, so will be no walkovers.
      Black Cats boss Lee Johnson got his wish of drawing Arsenal away, with over 5,000 travelling fans expected in the capital.
      Cup keeper Bernd Leno is primed to start in goal, giving Aaron Ramsdale a well-deserved night off.
      And Arteta could also opt for two fresh faces at full-back, with Cedric Soares coming in for Takehiro Tomiyasu on the right and Nuno Tavares in for Kieran Tierney on the left.
      In the heart of defence Ben White could once again be handed a Carabao Cup start, as he was against Leeds in the last-sixteen.

      But instead of regular partner Gabriel he may play alongside Rob Holding.
      Albert Sambi-Lokonga is out with Covid-19, meaning Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Mohamed Elneny are likely to start in the middle of the park.
      Emile Smith Rowe is anticipated to be in the starting line-up after two goals as a substitute in his last two Premier League outings.
      And Emirates outcast Nicolas Pepe is expected to come in on the right flank in place of Bukayo Saka, in what could be one of his final games in an Arsenal shirt.
      The Gunners are reportedly willing to let the £72m flop leave in January.
      On the left Gabriel Martinelli’s stunning recent form means he could be once again trusted from the start.
      And if Arteta wants experience up front then Alexandre Lacazette may be given another starting berth, along with the captain’s armband.
      Alternatively, Arteta could opt to place his trust in his youngsters and field a front two of Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun.
      Alternative Arsenal line-up vs Sunderland
      Calum Chambers could also get the nod at the back if Arteta decides to name an entirely new back-line.
      Chambers was on the scoresheet in the last round against Leeds within seconds of coming on as a sub.
      Other than that though Arteta is expected to go with a blend of youth and experience as he looks to book a spot in the semi-finals of the competition.
      Pabo Mari will miss out after testing positive for Covid-19, while Sead Kolasinac remains sidelined with an ankle problem.
      Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also unlikely to feature again after being stripped as Arsenal captain following a disciplinary breach.

      Where Tottenham’s 2007/08 League Cup winning XI are now as Spurs chase first trophy under Antonio Conte

      by

      TOTTENHAM’S wait for a piece of silverware has now stretched to 13 YEARS.In 2008, Juande Ramos led Spurs to the League Cup thanks to a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Wembley.
      This is the Tottenham starting XI that won the League Cup in 2008, 13 years ago
      The Spurs players celebrate their 2-1 win over London rivals Chelsea at WembleyCredit: AFP
      Didier Drogba put the Blues in front with a free-kick before Dimitar Berbatov’s penalty sent the game into extra-time.
      Jonathan Woodgate grabbed the winner when Petr Cech punched the ball in from Jermaine Jenas’ free-kick into the defender’s head and it rebounded in.
      Harry Redknapp, Andre Villas-Boas, Tim Sherwood, Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo all came and went without a trophy.
      But what happened to the Tottenham team that beat Avram Grant’s side?
      GK: Paul Robinson
      The former England goalkeeper won his only major trophy that day at Wembley, the year after the last of his 41 England caps.
      He had seven seasons at Blackburn before a two-year, three-appearance spell at Burnley then retired in 2017 and is now doing media work.
      ARE YOU IN? IT’S GO TIME ON OUR COMPETITION TO WIN £5,000 (T&Cs apply. 18+)

      RB: Alan Hutton
      The Scottish right-back joined Aston Villa in 2011 but had loans to Nottingham Forest, Mallorca and Bolton.
      He played in the 2015 FA Cup final and scored a memorable goal against rivals Birmingham in 2018 before hanging up his boots a year ago to step into media, too.
      CB: Jonathan Woodgate
      Match-winner Woodgate left Spurs in 2011 to join Stoke before returning to Middlesbrough a year later.
      He ended his playing career in 2016 and, after a brief stint as a scout for Liverpool, went into coaching – he took over as Boro manager in 2019 and had a spell in charge of Bournemouth, too.
      CB: Ledley King
      Ramos’ skipper that day had his career blighted by injuries and retired as a one-club man in 2012.
      He joined Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff last summer and is trying to help the club end their long wait.

      Now the Bournemouth manager, Woodgate grabbed the winning goal in extra-timeCredit: AFP
      LB: Pascal Chimbonda
      The one-cap French full-back left Spurs that summer for Sunderland but returned to White Hart Lane in 2009 for a short stint.
      He then had spells at eight clubs in ten years – including QPR and Doncaster as well as non-league Market Draydon Town and Ashton Town – before stopping in 2019.
      RM: Aaron Lennon
      One of the two members of that team still actively playing professional football is Lennon.
      He had ten seasons at the Lane before joining Everton in 2015, Burnley in 2017 and is back at Turf Moor aged 34 after a spell in Turkey.
      CM: Jermaine Jenas
      Like Hutton, Jenas headed to Villa Park, albeit on loan, in 2011 before a temporary spell at hometown club Nottingham Forest.
      He ended his injury-hit career with the 2013-14 season at QPR before stepping into punditry with BT Sport and Match of the Day – and may even be lined up to replace Gary Lineker as host one day.

      Jermaine Jenas has stepped into his role as a pundit well since his premature retirementCredit: PA:Press Association
      CM: Didier Zakora
      Zakora spent one more season at Tottenham before joining Sevilla for two years.
      After that Ivory Coast’s most-capped player had spells in Turkey, India and Indonesia and is now assistant boss at AFAD Djekanou in his homeland.
      LM: Steed Malbranque
      Malbranque spent a decade in England, with his time at Tottenham sandwiched between Fulham and Sunderland.
      Like Lennon, he is still active at FC Limonest Saint-Didier in France at the tender age of 41.

      ST: Robbie Keane
      Keane enjoyed a glittering career which also included spells at Inter Milan, Leeds, Liverpool and Celtic before five years at LA Galaxy and finally with ATK in Kolkata.
      A 146-cap Irish legend, he had spells as an assistant manager with Ireland and Middlesbrough, working under team-mate Woodgate.
      ST: Dimitar Berbatov
      Arguably the best player of that Spurs XI was Berbatov, who went on to win two league titles, another League Cup and the Club World Cup with Manchester United.
      The two-time Premier League golden-boot winner featured for Fulham, Monaco, PAOK and Kerela Blasters until his retirement in 2019 – the Bulgarian is now working towards to get his Uefa Pro coaching licence.
      Manager: Juande Ramos
      Ramos was sacked just eight months later with a win ratio in the league of 29 per cent.
      Harry Redknapp replaced him while he managed to land the Real Madrid job before stints at CSKA Moscow, Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and Malaga.
      He has been out of work since he resigned from Malaga in 2016.
      Younes Kaboul, Teemu Tainio and Tom Huddlestone came off the bench for Spurs that day while Radek Cerny and Darren Bent were unused subs.

      LET’S SMASH THEM’
      Sunderland manager Lee Johnson may be having a little chuckle to himself after drawing Arsenal away in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
      The Black Cats beat Championship QPR in the previous round and after the match Johnson wound up Gunners supporters.
      Asked who he wanted to face in the quarter-final, Johnson said: “I’d love to have Arsenal away or Tottenham away.”
      Many Arsenal fans are looking forward to taking on the Black Cats and are confident about beating the League One side.
      One Gunner wrote on Twitter: “You got your wish big man. Arsenal let’s smash them please.
      Another added: “Lee Johnson wanted an easy draw like Arsenal. Now he’s got it. Pre-match team talk done. Thank you Lee.”
      NO CUP FUSS
      Sunderland legend Michael Gray isn’t fussed about his side’s great run in the Carabao Cup.
      The Black Cats have been drawn against Arsenal in the competition’s quarter-finals, but Gray is more worried about the club gaining promotion from League One, as he reckons they’ve been in the division for far too long.
      He said: “We went through [to the quarter-finals], which is great, we went through on penalties, but I wasn’t really bothered.
      I am not too fussed about that at the moment.
      “We’ve been in League One too long, we need to get ourselves out of League One, we’re in a decent position at the moment and I know some sides are probably thinking it’s momentum, it’s confidence.”
      GUNNING FOR GLORY
      Arsenal will host Sunderland in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup.
      The Black Cats are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition – and the only club not in the Premier League of the last eight.
      Arsenal overcame Leeds in a comfortable 2-0 win on Tuesday to progress to the quarter-finals.
      And though Mikel Arteta will fancy his chances against Sunderland, manager Lee Johnson will not make it easy for the Gunners.

      GO FOR IT
      Arsenal legend Paul Merson reckons David Moyes and West Ham will never have a better opportunity of lifting the Carabao Cup.
      The Hammers have knocked out both Manchester City and United and Merson believes they have to capitalise on that.
      Although some people don’t think the League Cup means much, Merson thinks it would look on West Ham’s CV as they haven’t won a trophy in decades.
      Plus Moyes hasn’t lifted a trophy for a while either, and Merson reckons the cup will be huge for him also.
      Merson said: “West Ham haven’t won a trophy since 1980!” he wrote. “You’ve got to have a go now.
      “It’s almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some of these teams. No City in a competition they’ve dominated for so long – it was getting very predictable.
      “People say it’s not an important competition. But come the final, everybody wants to be walking out at Wembley in it. What has David Moyes won? A Community Shield? This is a massive opportunity for him to finally put a big trophy on his CV.
      “You’ve just knocked out both Manchester clubs, why wouldn’t you go for it now?”
      FINAL COUNTDOWN
      We’re about 25/30 minutes away from the draw – how excited are you feeling?
      For those that don’t know, it will take place on Soccer AM on Sky Sports, which is better than some recent draw locations such as the bowls club they used last time.
      IN IT TO WIN IT
      Brentford boss Thomas Frank reckons his side can go all the way in the Carabao Cup.
      They made the quarter-finals after seeing off Stoke in the last round and thinks Brentford call pull off a major coup despite all the bigger Prem clubs still in the competition.
      An optimistic Frank said: “I just know one thing. We would like to do as well as possible in the League Cup.
      “We’re now in the quarter-finals, why not try to win it? There are some massive clubs there but we’ll do our very best.”
      FOURTH ROUND RESULTS
      Cup holders Manchester City’s were dumped out of the competition by West Ham who defeated Pep Guardiola’s side on penalties at the London Stadium, ending their four-year reign.
      Chelsea also skipped into the quarter-finals on penalties against Southampton.
      Arsenal, who are now unbeaten in eight games, swept Leeds aside to secure their place in the last-eight.
      Sunderland joined the pen-fest by edging QPR in a tense spot-kick shoot-out.
      Prem giants Liverpool and Tottenham saw off Preston and Burnley respectively.
      While Brentford made also made it through by seeing off a resilient Stoke side. while.
      Last but not least, Leicester made sure they also left it to the last minute to qualify for the quarter-finals and beat Brighton on penalties following an enthralling 90 minutes.

      TIME FOR A CUP OF TEA
      Hello, good morning and welcome to SunSport’s live blog coverage of the Carabao Cup draw.
      In-keeping with the competition’s habit of hosting the draw from weird and wonderful places around the world, today’s takes place on Soccer AM.
      John Fendley and Jimmy Bullard are expected to draw the balls for this year’s last eight which take place in December.
      Premier League big boys Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are expecting to learn their fates today.
      West Ham, Leicester, Brentford and former Prem mainstays Sunderland are also in the pot.
      The Black Cats will be hoping to draw one of the big boys after playing recent seasons in League One.
      As for Tottenham and Arsenal, it is the chance to win a trophy that has evaded them in recent seasons.
      Either way, with penalty shootouts and possibly some fringe players in the mix it promises to be a thrilling round of football.
      And who better to get the party started than Sky Sports funny men Fendley and Bullard?
