Arsenal vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news


Arsenal face Manchester City at Wembley today, aiming to banish a 33-year Carabao Cup hoodoo and secure Mikel Arteta’s second major trophy in North London.


The Gunners have moved into a position of dominance both domestically and in Europe, currently sitting nine points clear at the top of the Premier League. Manager Mikel Arteta has overseen a ruthless path to the final, including a semi-final victory over Chelsea, and now looks to become the first manager in Arsenal history to win both of his first two major cup finals.

Mikel Arteta manages a squad facing late fitness tests for two essential pillars. Notably, captain Martin Ødegaard and defender Jurriën Timber are being assessed up until kick-off for knee and ankle issues, respectively.


Consequently, Eberechi Eze is expected to continue his influential role in the attacking third. Notably, Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to start in goal, having been the designated keeper for this competition. If Gabriel Jesus features tonight, he will make history as the first player to ever play for both sides in a League Cup final fixture.


Kepa Arrizabalaga will start behind a back four likely featuring William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. In midfield, Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice will look to dictate the tempo, providing the service for a front three of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli (or Trossard), and Viktor Gyökeres.


Notably, Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six games against City and will look to exploit a visiting defence missing the cup-tied Marc Guéhi to secure their first League Cup since 1993.
