TRAFFORD !
BIG OPPORTUNITY
7′ Trafford makes a triple save!
Trafford pulled out all the stops against the Arsenal attackers, making 3 saves in the open area after a superb collective phase. He won his first face-to-face encounters, notably against Saka!
First alert
The Gunners try to attack. Gyokeres inherits the ball, kicks it into the open area but the Skyblues get a free kick.
Let’s get started!
Kick-off is at Wembley. Good match everyone!
Doku is mefie
Questioned by Emiliano Bonfigli, Jérémy Doku did not hide that he wanted the title, but he knows where he will have to be solid to resist against the Gunners.
And that of City?
Exited in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, Manchester City wants to recover. To achieve this, they are making a few changes. Ruben Dias is replaced by Aké in the center of defense. Cherki and Semenyo are starters, like Jérémy Doku, Rodri and Erling Haaland.

The Gunners start with a solid starting 11. Raya is left to rest and replaced by Kepa in the cages. For the rest, it’s the typical team, with Trossard aligned on the left side. Only Eze, injured, is not there.

Before the match
Manchester City and Arsenal are eyeing the first trophy of the season on Sunday (5:30 p.m.) in the League Cup, a tantalizing clash right down to the bench, between master Pep Guardiola, 55, and Mikel Arteta, 43, his ex-discipline emancipated.
The Premier League leader, Arsenal, arrives at Wembley with a favorable wind and a status of quasi-favorite against a Mancunian runner-up who looks like a wounded beast, with a declining aura and still bruised by his elimination on Tuesday in the Champions League.
But Guardiola, the architect of all his successes since 2016, knows better than anyone to what extent a final can escape all rationality. He won a bunch, including four in a row in the League Cup, between 2018 and 2021.
The first, he won with a young assistant named… Mikel Arteta, recently retired from the field and become an essential link in his staff at the time of the final, won 3-0 against Arsenal and Arsène Wenger.
Since then, the student has moved away from the master, leaving the north of England to become a manager in turn, in north London, in December 2019.
