Carabao Cup Final: Preview
City and Arsenal clash at Wembley in what feels like a significant Carabao Cup final. The top two in the Premier League will meet again in the title race and a psychological blow could be struck at Wembley.
The League Cup hasn't been kind to Arsenal. While the Gunners are prolific FA Cup winners, they have lost six of their previous eight finals in this competition. The most recent of their two wins came in 1993, when Steve Morrow scored a winner against Sheffield Wednesday that turned out more painful for him than the Owls.
George Graham started with 10 English players and both of his substitutes were English too, the exception being the Irish defender David O'Leary. The future Leeds United and Aston Villa manager played in both of Arsenal's League Cup-winning teams.
Arsenal are a more international concern now but Mikel Arteta is making use of an English core. In their last Premier League fixture, Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice all started against Everton and young Max Dowman scored off the bench.
Guardiola's early mastery of the Carabao Cup has waned but City return to the final intent on taking home the silver. They'll have to break a recent habit: City are winless in five Premier League games against the Gunners but won 13 of the first 14 under the Catalan gaffer.
Arsenal prepared for this final by progressing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, sealing a 3-1 aggregate victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 while City were comfortably knocked out by Real Madrid.
