Arsenal's Kepa Arrizabalaga is in line to start against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. The Spanish goalkeeper has been Arsenal's primary choice in the EFL Cup this season.

What's at Stake for Arsenal?

Kepa's involvement has contributed to Arsenal's progression to the final, underlining his importance within the squad. He has reflected on his previous experience in major finals, which could prove valuable as Arsenal aim to secure silverware.

Kepa's Experience and Preparation

Kepa has played in the League Cup final before and has been lucky to have played many finals in his career. He said: “I have played in the League Cup final before, but I have played many finals in my career, I have been lucky in that way.”

Selection Dilemma for Arteta

Kepa has performed well throughout the competition and arguably deserves to start in the final. However, David Raya remains Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper, presenting a potential dilemma for Mikel Arteta. The choice will rest with Arteta, who must balance form, experience, and squad hierarchy ahead of a crucial fixture.
