LOSS Carabao Cup Final: Arsenal 0 - 2 Manchester City | Sunday 22nd March | KO: 16:30 GMT | ITV1 / Sky Sports

Here we go then, this season's first opportunity for silverware, & the first since we won the FA Cup Final in 2020 in Arteta's first season.

We've not won the League Cup since 1993, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1, & securing the domestic cup double in the process.

Steve Morrow scored the winner, but is probably more famous for Tony Adams dropping him from his shoulders in the post game celebrations, breaking Morrows arm in the process

Arsenal on X: "🗓 #OnThisDay in 1993: A memorable afternoon for Steve Morrow... Scores winner in League Cup final Breaks arm in full-time celebrations



Hopefully the only thing we will be breaking on Sunday, is Man City's hearts

The main team selection question is will Teta stick with Kepa in goal or not ?

Prediction : Arsenal 3 - 1 Man City

Kepa or Raya?

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Arteta will start Kepa, but I don't agree with it.

Haaland is through one on one, who do you want facing him, Raya or Kepa? Which goalkeeper gives the defence the most confidence? The answer is obvious.

Nothing against Kepa, he's a good back up but I'd want to see us putting our strongest side out when a trophy is on the line. That's more important then making the back up keeper feel happy

If Kepa doesn't like it, okay. It's not hard for a club the size of Arsenal to find another back up.

 

[Iwobeast]

I think Mikel will go Raya, game is too important

 

[bergholt]

honestly think if we win this then we'll go very close to winning all four, because the monkey will be off the back

 

[Sammy1887]

Its a cup final..form goes out of the window.

They will be up for it and we need to be great defensively. I'm just worried with starting Kepa for this game.

3-0. Belt to ass. A real changing of the guard moment.

 

[#254]

Game has high potential for a stalemate. I know I'd want Kepa between those sticks in this scenario. Plus he hasn't put a foot wrong mostly and will be super motivated.

 

[UkrArsenal]

Kepa has to start this game , it’s his tournament. He’s played every match and deserves to start the final.

 

[bastun]

Kepa
White Saliba Gabriel Calafiori
Zubi Rice
Saka Eze Trossard
Havertz

 

[grange]

3-0. Belt to ass. A real changing of the guard moment.

How many careers do we ruin? Bernardo, Rodri, Pep, Hurling?

 

[Tourbillion]

I hope we win.

 

[Iwobeast]

Winning a trophy is nice but it's even better to be able to deny their chance of winning something this season

and I’m also hoping for some Rodri and Bernardo tears

 

[Kingslayer]

1-1. We win it on penalties. Kepa the hero. Load up on Valium.

 

[Tnegs]

1-1. We win it on penalties. Kepa the hero. Load up on Valium.

Playing football on Valium makes you calm and focused. Apart from the fact that you sometimes fall down for no reason and forget which side you are playing for it can be positive.

 

[Mudi]

Calafiori, Timber, Havertz and maybe Kepa in compared to yesterday. If Timber is fit, White and no Mosquera for the RB please.

 

[HollandGooner]

Just a quick question to all of us? we are not gonna lose arent we? I think winning this will give us an edge.

 

[Penn_]

Pep’s going to park it again.

 

[HollandGooner]

Kepa
White Saliba Gabriel Calafiori
Zubi Rice
Saka Eze Trossard
Havertz

It depends on how City will line up but i suppose they will play deep. so Trossard might be the better option. Havertz upfront also better for this match.

 

[A_G]

How many careers do we ruin? Bernardo, Rodri, Pep, Hurling?

Sending “Tijani” back to Serie A-verage as well
