James Trafford DEPARTURE
The team’s big news from Man City is that James Trafford will retain his place for today’s final.
Pep Guardiola has used the 23-year-old in every EFL Cup match this season as part of his policy of allowing the Englishman to play in domestic cup matches, while Gianluigi Donnarumma features in Premier League and Champions League matches.
Odegaard and Timber back?
Look on it
Captain Martin Ødegaard and fullback Jurriën Timber could return for today’s final, which would be a huge boost for Mikel Arteta’s men.
Speaking at the press conference on Friday, he said: “Let’s see if they can make it happen.”
Ødegaard was plagued by minor injuries throughout the season and scored just one goal all campaign. Arsenal fans wouldn’t mind a timely goal today.
The most memorable moments from the Carabao Cup…
Look on it
It’s time for the Carabao Cup final!
What a game we have in store today as Arsenal take on Man City at Wembley for the first trophy of the season.
Mikel Arteta hasn’t won a major trophy with the Gunners since 2020, but the odds won’t get much better than that. His team have been flying in the Premier League and are currently nine points clear.
Man City, however, are EFL Cup specialists, and Pep Guardiola’s run of four consecutive Carabao Cup victories between 2017-18 and 2020-21 must count for something.
