Gunners bid to take first step towards quadruple

The two best teams in English football renew their rivalry at Wembley, as Arsenal seek to end their six-year wait for a trophy and take the first step towards what could be a quadruple this season.

Arsenal are nine points clear of City in the Premier League title race and into the quarter-finals in the Champions League and the FA Cup.

Mikel Arteta hopes victory this afternoon can launch a new era of dominance for his side.

Arsenal vs Man City prediction

A meeting in a final between the top two teams in the country points towards a fascinating tie as the winners could land a psychological blow in the Premier League title race.

Man City, particularly under Guardiola, are masters of this competition and no manager has lifted the Carabao Cup trophy more than the Spaniard.

That said, Arsenal have had City’s number in recent years and we think they will get the job done to finally end their six-year wait for some major silverware.

Arsenal to win, 2-1.
