In the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals, Liverpool are all set to face Arsenal in their own backyard. After the mixed bag results for both teams, they face each other.
Liverpool, despite falling behind against Shrewsbury Town, scored four goals in the FA Cup fixture to advance to the next round. However, the false COVID-19 tests have questioned the integrity of the club and players.
On the other hand, Arsenal stares at an early exit from all the competitions. They are knocked out of FA Cup as Nottingham Forest defeated 1-0 in the third round. Now they face stronger opposition in the semifinals.
