Arsenal vs Manchester City: Match preview, predicted line-ups, team news and prediction Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Arsenal defeated Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate in the semi-final, booking their place in the competition’s final for the first time since the 2017/18 season. Meanwhile, City thrashed Newcastle 5-1 on aggregate, securing their spot in the final for the 10th time.
Match preview Arsenal are aiming to win the Carabao Cup for the third time and continue their bid to win the quadruple this season. The Gunners rank fifth for goals scored (nine), second for both big chances created (16) and big chances missed (11), and are joint-top for most clean sheets (three). Arsenal are the in-form side, making them favourites.
They are unbeaten in their last 14 matches across all competitions. However, Arsenal lost 3-0 to Man City the last time they met in the competition’s final. City’s season has gone pear-shaped.
They have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and are unlikely to win the Premier League. While they remain in the FA Cup, winning Sunday’s showdown would guarantee they do not finish the season trophyless. City rank first for goals scored (12), accurate passes per game (604), and are joint-top for most clean sheets (three) in the Carabao Cup this season.
