Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere on Sky Sports: "We are at home, when we were away it was a bit different, we wanted to defend well and start attacks from there.
"We will look to take the game to them a little bit more maybe.
"I remember we lost in the final a few years ago - it was a horrible feeling - but now we really want to win a trophy, want to do it for the fans."
Arsenal v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger speaking to Sky Sports: "There are two good teams that know each other well, but you can never predict.
"These are tight games always in the semi-final no matter if you are a favourite, you want to take the chance to go to the final."
Arsenal have lost just once in their last seven meetings with Chelsea.

So the Atom and Humber banner has been rolled up and dispatched to Manchester with their owner - and life after Alexis and the retrievers, who have already been spotted in the United red, begins at the Emirates.
There is commentary on Five Live tonight, with Ian Dennis joined by Jermaine Jenas.

VAR is coming to a big screen near you.
Well, near you if you are at the Emirates tonight.
After going AWOL on Tuesday because of insufficient camera positions at Ashton Gate for Manchester City's win over Bristol City, the video review system is in full effect tonight and fans in the stadium will have a VAR graphic flashed up on the jumbotrons to let them know the tape is being reviewed.

From heartburn tablets, to wallpaper paste, to Pro Evo 2002. Leeds' new crest is certainly taking a bashing on Twitter...
rickybrown1982: Change the text at the bottom to super strong adhesive and Leeds United have the perfect brand image for wallpaper paste.
ramblingsofg: Leeds United new badge is genuinely awful. I could design a better one in a rocking chair, on a moving speedboat, blindfolded.

"What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."
Like Liam Neeson in Taken, you mess with an old-school targetman at your peril.
And Antonio Conte wants some of that steel up top.
After failing with a bid for Fernando Llorente in the summer, Chelsea have so far asked about the availability of Roma's Edin Dzeko, West Ham's Andy Carroll and Stoke's Peter Crouch and have reportedly been sniffing around Islam Slimani, Ashley Barnes and Christian Benteke.
All six foot one inch or taller. All 27-years-old or older.
Chris Sutton, six foot three and 44 years old, has been trying to work out who is the right fit. And if the Blues need need a lighthouse attacker anyway.

What should your club have on their crest?
The Arsenal crest should be changed to a white flag!
Gareth, Wiltshire
Cloughie will be smiling at that badge for 2 reasons: "dirty Leeds" leading with the elbow and showing what Directors know about football (the blank page in "Return of the clown Prince" by Shack)
Mark, London
Even the figure on the Leeds badge can't stand it as he has covered it with his fist.

Someone get Willian a transfer to the Brazilian diplomatic service.
The Chelsea midfielder planted two size nines right where it hurts during the pre-match press conference.
“To lose this kind of player is not easy," he said, when asked about Alexis Sanchez's departure
"It would be like losing Eden Hazard here. Is he that important to them? Of course.
"They are two great players but, unlike Sanchez, Eden is still here."
Arsenal v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)
Arsenal are getting their Alexis'-worth out of Henrikh Mkhitaryan already.
The Armenian has taken over from Gunnersaurus in high-fiving the players on their way into the Emirates.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a little bit different with some of things you hear coming out of Dortmund. I played with players I didn't get on with, but on the pitch they were massive for us.
It's up to Arsene Wenger and Arsenal to tame the beast. You come across characters like him in the game. Put him in the squad, expect him to score goals and better your side.

Arsenal haven't looked comfortable with three at the back. Perhaps Wenger doesn't think he's got three central defenders strong enough so he's decided to revert back to four.

The makers of a certain fizzy energy drink have got what they will have wanted.
Manchester City prevailed 5-3 on aggregate at Ashton Gate last night in another knock-about meeting with Bristol City.
The Premier League leaders capped a 3-2 on-the-night win with a 96th-minute goal from Kevin De Bruyne.

StewForsyth: The only thing the new badge says about Leeds is 'We can use Clipart'. Perhaps its an early April Fools joke for their supporters?
Cobadera12: It just looks awful, should have gone back to a Yorkshire white rose. Can I just reiterate it looks awful and which 10,000+ people did they ask?
SamMoxon: Leeds United's new badge is so bad that it comes with instructions/diagrams of how to cover it up.

Nacho Monreal is fit to start for Arsenal after being substituted during the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday with a leg injury. There is only one change from that starting XI as David Ospina replaces Petr Cech in goal.
Aaron Ramsey is on the bench after a recent illness, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who joined from Manchester United earlier this week as Alexis Sanchez headed for Old Trafford, is ineligible as he made a substitute appearance in United’s quarter-final loss to Bristol City.
Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Elneny, Xhaka, Wilshere, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette. Subs: Macey, Ramsey, Chambers, Maitland-Niles, Kolasinac, Nelson, Nketiah.
Chelsea are without Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) and Alvaro Morata (back), but Pedro is back in the side after being suspended for the 4-0 win at Brighton on Saturday.
He comes in for Michy Batshuayi, who drops to the bench, while £15m signing Ross Barkley is also among the substitutes as he hopes for his first playing time of the season.
Chelsea: Caballero; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger; Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Alonso; Willian, Hazard, Pedro. Subs: Eduardo, Cahill, David Luiz, Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Barkley, Batshuayi.

"Awful" "Horrendous" "Shocking".
And they are just the polite ones.
I would like to say that reviews of Leeds United's newly unveiled club badge were mixed, but that would suggest a modicum of support for it.
When rival clubs are taking free swings at you on social media, we are in PR crisis management territory.
Anyway, we are also after your suggestions for new club badges - keep it pre-watershed if you want to get your design/description onto the page.

Hold up.
Here is a fresh-off-his-phone update on the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang situation from BBC Sport's Simon Stone.
"Arsenal have had a second bid for striker Aubameyang rejected by Borussia Dortmund.
"The bid of 50m euros (£43.64m) was made by the Premier League club on Wednesday and was turned down immediately.
"It is understood Dortmund will only consider selling the Gabon forward, 28, for a fee in excess of £50m.
"It has previously been suggested Arsenal would include Olivier Giroud in any deal but Wednesday's bid was purely a cash offer for Aubameyang."
Just a little FYI, there is no Olivier Giroud on the Arsenal bench tonight with young Eddie Nketiah preferred. Could they be keeping Giroud fresh in case he is needed as collateral in any deal.
