Arsenal prepares to face Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on Sunday in the Carabao Cup final, with Mikel Arteta's side aiming for their first piece of silverware with this current squad. This highly anticipated match sees the Gunners seeking to lift the League Cup, a trophy that has gained significant importance for the club as they look to build on their incredible development.

While Arteta secured the FA Cup six years ago with a completely different squad, this current Arsenal group has nothing tangible to show for its progress under the Spanish manager. Winning this season's Carabao Cup could be a pivotal moment, potentially opening the floodgates for further trophies and fueling their ambitions, with a potential quadruple in sight.

For the crucial final, Arsenal's cup goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, is expected to start, maintaining his role despite David Raya's terrific form. Denying Kepa an appearance in the League Cup final would be like a child waking up to no presents on Christmas morning, highlighting the expectation for his inclusion.

In defense, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are set to form the formidable central partnership. Saliba's integration into the side in August 2022 marked a turning point for Arsenal, transforming them into contenders across all competitions. Gabriel, often a big-game player, will relish the battle against Erling Haaland, a matchup that promises to be a key watchpoint at Wembley.

At right-back, Ben White is the leading candidate to start, especially with Jurrien Timber listed as an injury doubt. Mikel Arteta could be pulling the wool over our eyes with this one, but if Timber is unavailable, White will surely get the nod. The final decision on Timber's fitness will be crucial for the defensive setup.
