both Manchester City and Arsenal have not won this League Cup trophy for quite some time. Manchester City last lifted this trophy 2 years ago while Arsenal have fasted 25 years to lift the League Cup trophy. for that both teams will fight hard to lift this trophy in the weekend.
Both England elite team is taking a long way to reach the final party. arsenal conquer Doncaster Rovers, Norwich City, West Ham United and Chelsea to move to Wembley while Manchester City have to conquer West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester City and Bristol City to reach the final.
this meeting is the second time Arsenal meet Manchester City this season. The team's first second meeting of the season was held at Etihad Stadium, where Arsenal was humiliated in front of the public City with a score of 3-1. for that Arsenal are determined to avenge the shame on this weekend.
Last season, both teams had actually met at Wembley, exactly in the FA Cup semi-final. In the game, Arsenal look spectacular so Manchester City must be eliminated with a score of 2-1 thin. for that Arsenal will hope Wembley tuah on the weekend.
In this fight, not only Arsenal who have great motivation to win this trophy. at the beginning of last week, the Citizens' dream of reaching Quadruple certainly ran aground after they defeated Wigan Athletic 1-0. For that they will wreak the annoyance by winning the Carabao Cup trophy on the weekend.
the performance of both teams ahead of this final match can be quite different. Arsenal appear less consistent, where they only won 2 wins from their last 5 matches while Manchester City lost only 1 of their last 8 games in all competitions.
arsenal itself gets a little wedge ahead of this final match. Because they have a fairly minimal recovery time, only about 2 days because they play in the Europa League early this morning. although Arsene Wenger parked a number of core pillars, but some of the other core pillars were forced to play early this morning so this condition is less than ideal for the final, where Manchester City last played at the beginning of last week in the FA Cup event.
josep Guardiola looked at this final game with optimism. Only Benjamin Mendy is absent in this match due to injury, but Fabian Delph should also be absent due to suspension, while Gabriel Jesus is doubtful despite his return to practice at City's first team.
in order to win his first trophy in England, Guardiola will lose his best players at Wembley. With a 4-3-3 scheme, Sergio Aguero's deadly trident, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling will be tasked with attacking Arsenal's defense in this match. in defense, John Stones is likely to be re-installed alongside Nicholas Otamendi, while their goal will likely be guarded by Claudio Bravo.
In the opposing camp, Arsene Wenger could not lose his best team. santi Cazorla and Alexandre Lacazette should be absent in this match due to injury while HenrikhMkhitaryan was exposed to cup-tied status so he could not play in this match.
wenger himself is likely to drop the 4-3-3 scheme, where Pierre Emerick-Aubame will be assisted by Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi in attacking the Gunners. in midfield, Jack Wilshere will team up with Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsey to manage the flow of the ball of his team, while their goalkeeper will be escorted by veteran goalkeeper David Ospina .
