Channels set to Air Chelsea-Tottenham Match

The first of this season’s Carabao Cup semi-finals will see London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham meet at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Though there were calls for the ties to be played over one-leg amid the fixture pileup caused by Covid postponements, the EFL have stuck with the traditional two-legged format, with the victors to face either Liverpool or Arsenal in the final.

For Thomas Tuchel, the match has taken on added importance after a difficult Christmas period that has seen the Blues slips ten points behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

For Antonio Conte, meanwhile, this competition may represent his best chance of ending his first season in charge of Tottenham with an elusive trophy.

Where to watch Chelsea vs Tottenham

TV channel: The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football and Main Event.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the website or Sky Go app.
