Stoke to dump Chelsea out of Capital One Cup? Charlie Nicholas makes his predictions

Charlie Nicholas has made his predictions for Tuesday's Capital One Cup matches, backing another win for Arsenal and more misery for Chelsea.
The Sky Sports pundit was in hot form last week, predicting all four correct results for English sides in the Champions League, including an odds-defying Gunners win over Bayern Munich.
Here's what he fancies for the final 16 of the Capital One Cup...

Sheffield Wednesday v Arsenal (live on Sky Sports 1 from 7.30pm)
I think this will be a good footballing game because Sheffield Wednesday, under their new manager Carlos Carvalhal, have been going absolutely brilliantly, with another good win at the weekend at Rotherham.
However, what Arsenal have got to pick from is still a very experienced group, with Mathieu Flamini, who scored twice against Spurs, and Mikel Arteta in midfield, then Per Mertesacker to come back. I have a feeling Arsene Wenger might rest both Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud so I think Joel Campbell might get the chance to start.
Momentum means a lot at a club and Arsenal have got that at the moment, so while Arsene might rest quite a few, they will still come through this.
