Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners defeated Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate in the semi-final, booking their place in the final for the first time since the 2017/18 season.
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 to continue their bid for 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 unbeaten in their last 14 matches across all competitions. However, Arsenal lost 3-0 to Man City in their last meeting in the final.
City’s season has gone pear-shaped. They have been knocked out of the 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.
Victory would make Pep Guardiola the most successful manager in the competition’s history with five titles.
Team news
Arsenal are assessing the fitness of Jurrien Timber and Martin Odegaard. Eberechi Eze has been declared fit, while Mikel Merino is ruled out.
Arteta will decide whether to start David Raya or Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal.
Josko Gvardiol is City’s only injury concern, but Marc Guehi is cup-tied. Guardiola has confirmed that James Trafford will start over Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal.
