They have to break the Arsenal players with momentum!
Although they were two goals behind in the first leg, there was nothing impossible on their home turf!
As long as they can make it to the final, they have a 50% chance of winning the championship! Their last title was in 1996!
They are looking forward to the team winning the title, even if it’s just the most chicken League Cup!
But the Arsenal players also take this game seriously!
They have not won a championship for eight years and also need a championship to treat themselves and satisfy the fans!
So this game is destined to be as intense as Mars hitting Earth! Arsenal’s starting line-up is goalkeeper Szesny.
Defenders Sania, Sil 02 Tessack, Vermaelen and Gibbs.
Midfielders Cazorla, Ramsey and minor threats.
Center Lu Junfeng.
Left wave plane, right Walcott.
This is the strongest lineup that can be discharged!

Aston Villa’s starting line-up is goalkeeper Giving.
Defenders Lotton, Fraer, Clark, Bennett.
Midfielders Ireland, Delph, Bannan.
N’Zobia burst forward.
On the forward line, Benteke and Abang Rajo are partnered.
A strange 4312 formation.
The game started at 3:45 a.m. in Huaxia, plus there was no broadcast, so only the die-hard fans watched on time.
A kick-off with a reverse foot, Lu Junfeng began today’s performance! At the beginning of the game, he found himself caught in a double bag.
And today, the Aston Villa players fought very hard as soon as they started, the action was very big, they were two goals behind, and they certainly could not be lifeless passive and consume time.
They need to rush to attack!
Arsenal players did not adapt to such a high intensity of pressing, and there were many mistakes.
Fortunately, Aston Villa’s players had limited technical ability and failed to break through Arsenal’s goal.
Arsenal slowly controlled the ball by shrinking the formation.
Then they began to fight back.
In the 17th minute, Bo Plane and Lu Junfeng played a wall kick on the left side.
From the left side of the wave plane, the bottom is followed by an inverted triangle return pass.
Ramsey shot hard over the beam.
In the 22nd minute, Clark was yellow carded for making too big a tackle.
However, in the 24th minute, Aston Villa attacked on the left flank.
Bennett’s 45-degree diagonal pass and Benteker’s unexpected pad shot sent the ball flying in a weird arc and falling into the net.
Szesny was a little unresponsive.
Aston Villa lead Arsenal 1-0! But they were still one goal behind!
This goal boosted the morale of the Aston Villa players!
The cheers of more than 40,000 fans at the scene were also like a tsunami!
They shouted and jumped wildly, making the old stadium look rickety.
Just one more goal and the two teams are equal!
This gives Aston Villa fans hope of reaching the Carabao Cup final! Soon the game continued.
Arsenal are once again in passivity, with danger in front of goal.
Lu Junfeng basically couldn’t receive the ball, and they all retreated near the middle line.
Fortunately, the Arsenal backline was very focused and did not concede the goal again.
At half-time, the score was still 1:0.
With 45 minutes to go, it’s entirely possible for Aston Villa to score another goal!
At half-time, Wenger asked all the players up front to pull back to participate in the counter-attack.
Stabilize the situation first, do not have to rush to fight back.
At the start of the second half, Arsenal took the initiative to contract, but actively fought for the ball and did not give Aston Villa too many shots on goal.
The Aston Villa players became more and more impatient the more they played.
Their formation is also getting higher and higher.
Finally in the 55th minute, Arsenal broke the ball at the back and passed it to Kasola.
Cazorla immediately made a long pass to the front.
“Little Tiger” Walcott rushed out like an off-string arrow! Aston Villa players can’t catch up with him at all!
They gave Walcott too much room to fight back! The rest of Arsenal’s players set 830 bodies and rushed forward!
Especially Lu Junfeng, it was really charging like a galloping tank depot!
“Little tiger, wait a minute!. I’m in the middle, you pass one inverted! ”
Lu Junfeng shouted.
However, this ball Walcott chose to play on his own! The ball was saved by the goalkeeper!
It’s good that it didn’t pounce very far! Lu Junfeng rushed over in an instant!
Opposing goalkeeper Givan and defender Fraer also pounced on the ball!
Seeing that he was going to be destroyed by the other party, Lu Junfeng directly came with a flying shovel! He got a ball on the tip of his left foot!
Jiwen reached for it, but he still took a beat slower and failed to touch the ball! The football rolled into the goal!
Goal！！！！！！！！！
The ball is in! Arsenal equalised!
This is Lu Junfeng’s 26th goal for Arsenal! The 7th goal in the Carabao Cup!
He’s a goal machine! The score became 1:1!
Two-legged big score, Arsenal 4:2 lead!
