Arsenal and Manchester City are set to face each other in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

While both sides are competing with each other to win the Premier League title this season, they will now step away from the division for a weekend to fight for a trophy.

Both managers will be keen to lift the cup, with Mikel Arteta without a cup since 2020, while Pep Guardiola is at risk of going the campaign without a major trophy.

Therefore, anticipation is high to see the two best sides in England clash at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.

Below, Football Insider has outlined how you can watch this mouthwatering Man City showdown.

Alternatively, Sky Sports are also set to broadcast the game live, although users will need a valid subscription.

If you are unable to make it to a screen, BBC Radio 5 Live is set to have live commentary of the match.

Highlights of the game will also be made available after full-time on Sky Sports Football’s YouTube channel.

Man City’s record against Arsenal explained

With Football Insider revealing that Man City are “increasingly resigned” to the prospect of Pep Guardiola leaving at the end of the season, the manager will want to go out with at least one trophy.

However, the odds of this coming on Sunday look increasingly unlikely.

Man City have a terrible recent record against Arsenal, and are winless in their last six meetings.

This included a terrible 5-1 trashing last season, as well as a penalty defeat in their last meeting at Wembley during the 2023 Community Shield.

Man City have traditionally struggled against Arsenal

Before this, Man City had a wonderful record against the Gunners, winning eight matches on the spin.

It remains to be seen if Guardiola is able to take inspiration from these victories and ensure the club bounces back from its Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
