And directly
Arsenal finally comes out
The Gunners come out and hit the post! Calafiori sends a remarkable cross shot, but it is the amount that separates the leather.
We clearly recognize the #City of this 2025/26 season which blows hot and cold #ARSMCI #EFLCup

Arsenal star
The Gunners have taken a big blow to the head, we can feel it.
AND THE SECOND!
O’Reilly scores a double! The defender catches a cross from Nunes and catches Kepa with a header!
LE BUUUUUUUUT !
BUT
60′ O’Reilly breaks the deadlock!
This is the goal that unlocks the match! It’s O’Reilly who opens the scoring for City! The defender hangs around the small rectangle and takes advantage of a blunder from Kepa to put it in the back of the goal!
Highlight for City
Manchester City are in a strong moment, but in the meantime, the opportunities remain timid. Bernardo Silva, for example, seems to have forgotten to hit on goal… Semenyo tested from a distance, but without hitting the target.
Bernardo 12000 touches of balls, he makes a nice breakthrough, but doesn’t shoot…frustrating player#arsmci

Jaune !
YELLOW CARD
51′ Kepa gets yellow
Yellow card for Kepa, who makes a ridiculous exit on Jérémy Doku, who refuses to fall but who wins the free kick. The goalkeeper was outside his area, but he was surprised by the speed of the Red Devil.
Shy try
Haaland manages to pass in a pocket handkerchief, but his shot is well stopped by the defense.
Here we go again
The second half begins at Wembley.
It’s the break
End of the first period. City suffered initially before coming back, but overall, we remain hungry after a disappointing first half so far.
The football mush this first half of City Arsenal #ARSMAN #ARSMCI

HAALAND!
BIG OPPORTUNITY
44′ Haaland misses the mark in the small rectangle!
What an opportunity for City! Semenyo again makes the difference on the right, centers and finds Haaland in the small rectangle but the Norwegian places it above!
Hincapié!
Hincapé is served in a small rectangle on a corner. His head is not framed.
Second box
YELLOW CARD
31′ Khusanov is booked.
This time, it is Khusanov who takes a yellow card for a virulent intervention. It makes sense.
It’s sterile
Arsenal let it come a little and Semenyo is very dangerous on the right flank. But the opportunities are rare.
But what is Trossard used for?#ARSMCI

HAALAND!
Semenyo overflows perfectly on the right, crosses into the rectangle and Haaland passes just below the ball!
First box
YELLOW CARD
15′ Faute de Hincapié
Hincapié is warned, he is late and leaves his sole on Nunes’ foot.
Arsenal domine
Arsenal dominates, with already 4 shots on goal. City have yet to strike once on goal. It’s a calm start to the meeting.

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.
Your League Cup final line-up!

Arsenal’s eleven
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.
