Carabao Cup Final Preview: Why Arsenal Will End City’s Dominance
Arsenal and Manchester City meet in the Carabao Cup final for the first time. The Gunners lead the Premier League by nine points and chase a potential quadruple, while City have struggled with just one win in five league games. Our in-house expert Ifeanyi highlights key stats: Haaland has managed only four goals in 17 matches. Arsenal boast the best defence in the division, conceding 22 goals in 31 games. City’s seven straight League Cup final wins clash with Arsenal’s six consecutive final defeats, adding a psychological twist. We back Arsenal to edge a tight contest, possibly needing extra time. Under 2.5 goals is a smart secondary pick given recent Arteta–Guardiola meetings average fewer than two goals per game. Expect a 1–0 victory for the Gunners, ending 33 years of League Cup final heartbreak.
