Arsenal Starting XI vs Man City: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup Arsenal vs Man City: Confirmed Team News, Injury Latest and Predicted Line Up Ahead of Carabao Cup Final Arsenal approach the Carabao Cup final with intrigue surrounding their confirmed team news, as Mikel Arteta weighs a pivotal decision that could shape the outcome against Manchester City. According to original reporting from the London Standard, the most pressing call centres on the goalkeeper position — a choice that reflects both loyalty and tactical nuance. Kepa Arrizabalaga has been entrusted throughout the competition, delivering consistency in cup fixtures.

Yet David Raya remains Arsenal’s established No. 1 in league play, presenting Arteta with a classic selection conundrum: continuity versus hierarchy. Arteta himself addressed the situation with measured confidence, stating: “With the quality of the keepers that we have right now, they are both Internationals, they play at the highest level… and they have the experience to deal with any kind of situation.

” That statement hints at parity rather than preference, though the subtle tone suggests Kepa may retain his place. In finals, rhythm and trust often outweigh reputation — and Arsenal’s run to Wembley has largely been built on the Spaniard’s involvement.

Captain Martin Odegaard, sidelined for a month with a knee issue, is edging back into contention. However, expectations remain tempered regarding his readiness to start. Arteta offered cautious optimism: “We have another training session tomorrow so the ones that are in contention, hopefully they can give us good news.
