Arsenal and Manchester City put their Premier League rivalry to one side this Sunday, instead doing battle in this season’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal began their Carabao Cup journey by beating Port Vale, but tougher challenges arose and were swatted away as Mikel Arteta’s men toppled Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and then Chelsea en route to the showpiece event. Now comes the ultimate test as the Gunners hunt their first piece of major silverware since 2020.
For Man City, away days at lower league Huddersfield Town and Swansea City were comfortably bypassed, as were meetings with Premier League Brentford and Newcastle United. Pep Guardiola guided City to four successive Carabao Cup titles between 2018 and 2021, but Sunday is their first final since the end of that run.
A gargantuan encounter sees England’s leading performers duke it out, and here’s how to tune into the action from Wembley.

The upcoming March international break clears the schedule for Arsenal and City, although the majority of their players will be traversing the globe to represent their nations as 2026 World Cup preparations step up.
On their return on April 4, both sides take to FA Cup action. Arsenal have a relatively straightforward trip to Southampton to navigate in their quarterfinal tie, but City have the much sterner test of Liverpool on home soil.
