Arsenal's players have been put through their paces for the final time ahead of their huge Carabao Cup semi-final against London rivals Chelsea.

The Gunners travel to Stamford Bridge for the first leg on Wednesday as they look to bounce back from their shock FA Cup third round defeat by Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Arsene Wenger was pictured giving instructions to Granit Xhaka during Tuesday's session at London Colney as he prepares his side to meet Antonio Conte's men for the second time in eight days.
