Arsenal travel to Wembley to face Manchester City in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. It is the first chance of a trophy this year. So, here is the crucial Gunners’ predicted starting XI.

The biggest game of the season, thus far, is here. Surprisingly, it comes in the much-maligned and oft-overlooked League Cup, now known as the Carabao Cup. Arsenal face Manchester City on Sunday afternoon with a wonderful chance of securing another trophy — it would be the fourth in five years, which seems almost a glut in comparison to the barren nine beforehand. Unfortunately, though, this year’s City might be the best team in Premier League history. Arsene Wenger, then, must get his team selection spot on.
