Carabao Cup Semi-Final Draw: Pulisic and Balogun Avoid Direct Clash

Having advanced to the final four of the Carabao Cup, Christian Pulisic and Chelsea have been drawn against Tottenham, while Folarin Balogun’s Arsenal take on Liverpool.

The 2022 Carabao Cup Final is the next target for American’s Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun as their teams reached the semi-finals with wins over Brentford and Sunderland, respectively. 

Pulisic earned his side a penalty to give his team the insurance goal in their nervy 2-0 win over Brentford while Balogun started and went 56 minutes for Arsenal in their 5-1 thumping of Lynden Gooch’s Sunderland.

Arsenal will have it all to do against Liverpool who came back against Leicester in dramatic fashion to secure a penalty kick shootout win. It took Chelsea until the 80th minute to find the winner over Premier League new boys Brentford, but the clean sheet will please Thomas Tuchel.
