⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season

[IceLincoln]

City had just added another goal when Omar Marmoush scored again in the 29th minute. City must learn from their previous match against Tottenham, where they conceded two goals. City should improve and strengthen their defense to prevent another goal conceded.

Prediction 3.1

Wow! And your prediction was really right..the score was 3-1, 5-1 on aggregate and really impressed by this prediction of yours!

Newcastle kinda increased their momentum in the second half and they were able to net a goal in the 62th minute, making the score 3-1 but Manchester city Aldo increased their performance and completely had the ball possession from the 78th minute to almost the 90th minute but they were not able to find the net till full time, nevertheless this is a win fir Manchester City and they’ll face Arsenal in the Finals.

Spot on Prediction, this is what they call correct score or sure odds….., I hope you booked it as well… that’ll make some cool cash.
Newcastle somehow underperformed even more in the second leg, I was expecting a tough match but they failed me. That Anthony Elanga goal was wonderful.. the dribble, the curl on the ball that’s R2…. Impressive.
I thought after that we’ll see them play better.

Manchester City performed very well yesterday I never believe they will win their match so easily the way they did in the first half. They did very well and they used all the chances very well however in the second half they did not perform as suspected anymore if not that Newcastle missed a lot of their chances they would have scored a lot of goals in the second half but they missed the chances and they did not coordinate them self very well. Manchester city has a problem when it comes to coordinating himself and be consistent in the second half the match before this in the Premier league that was also what happened they lost control on second half after gaining full control on the first half. The final match will now be between Arsenal and Manchester the match will be a very tough game but I hope and I believe arsenal will have a win.

To everyone who understands English Premier League system of football, this is me predicting that the final between Arsenal and Manchester City will be a settlement for the team that won't be winning the EPL. Arsenal is the closest team for the title this season but you see this EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season they will find it different to difficult Manchester City because Pep Guardiola's men will want to stop them from winning double this season unless they go ahead to win the champions League.

Let's anticipate Arsenal against Manchester City but I think Manchester City will lift the trophy while Arsenal will be compensated with the league title.

It is not possible to say anything right now, if the way Manchester City is performing in the Premier League, if we can see that consistency in the final, then I see Arsenal's chances of winning the title. Arsenal is a very strong team this season, they have the ability to win any title. The balance, depth of the team and recent form point towards Arsenal. On the other hand, Manchester City cannot be ignored, they are ahead of Arsenal in terms of big match experience. All in all, the EFL final match is going to be exciting.

For this season Arsenal are ahead of Manchester City in all ramifications. However Finals comes with different spirit, so Manchester City might decide to up their game on that day. however with style of play and the winning confidence Arsenal have gotten this period, the victory might likely be tilting towards Arsenal as they look more formidable in their approach than City, but let's not always forget that is is football, anything can always happen.

It is obvious that Manchester City has dominated the meeting between them and Newcastle united with 3 wins, 1 draw in 5 meetings.
This shows that Manchester City has higher chances of qualifying tonight against Newcastle even on a ground level. But now Manchester City has higher chances of winning since they are already leading with 2 goals.

The match has already started and Manchester City attack looks so decent... Marmush, Samenyo and Foden. That's so dangerous to say. Let's see how it goes.

Manchester City has scored their first goal on the 6th minutes to take the lead and increase the goal difference. Marmosh was the goal opener with an unexpected early goal which was their first ball on target. City continues to dominate the game looking for a way to double their goal. City has missed a few chances of finding the back of the net.

M. City 1-0 Newcastle (3-0).

City had just added another goal when Omar Marmoush scored again in the 29th minute. City must learn from their previous match against Tottenham, where they conceded two goals. City should improve and strengthen their defense to prevent another goal conceded.

Prediction 3.1

Your prediction was correct, the match ended 3-1 in Manchester City favor, Manchester City scored three goals in their last first ,half and Newcastle had one chance to score one goal. I wonder why If Manchester City scores goals in the first half of their games, they hardly score in the second half, they either end the match that way or they will concede goal, the last time was against Tottenham and the match ended draw, the same thing happened against Newcastle.

It’s not always possible for a team to win their game by defending a goal, even if they are leading by three goals, they must make attempts to add more goals in the second half, because they can lose important points like they did against Tottenham. If Newcastle had equalize the  three goals in the second half, the match would have been a different story.

[Hyphen(-)]

Manchester city has a problem when it comes to coordinating himself and be consistent in the second half the match before this in the Premier league that was also what happened they lost control on second half after gaining full control on the first half. The final match will now be between Arsenal and Manchester the match will be a very tough game but I hope and I believe arsenal will have a win.

Above all, they delivered well as they secured the win by 3-1 against a Newcastle United’s side that some people were hoping on to give Cuty some tough challenges, but the game went smooth fir Manchester City and they have done the important part which is to qualify to the final of the Carabo Cup to face Arsenal at the Wemby stadium.

Our next discussion will now be on who is capable of winning the final? Is it Arsenal or Manchester City?

I believe Arsenal will do their best to win the final because that will be the beginning of the glorious season for us if we are lucky, while Manchester City on the other hand will also want to win this final since their chance of winning the premier league is reducing due to how frequent they drop points.
The final will be interesting to watch because it will be tough.

I'm very impressed with his accurate prediction. Regardless, I congratulate Manchester City on their place in the final, where they will face Arsenal. I see Pep Guardiola having a big task ahead of the final, as their defense is a concern. If they continue to perform as they did against Newcastle, Arsenal will be a real threat and could even face a crushing defeat.

[satscraper]

Our next discussion will now be on who is capable of winning the final? Is it Arsenal or Manchester City?

Yeah, you’re right,  they face each other on February 25^th. I was never skeptical that these two would meet in the final, and I’m expecting a very exciting match because both teams are packed with top‑notch, ambitious players. Nevertheless, despite being Arsenal fan, I think Manchester City are more likely to win. But from the bettor’s perspective, I’d go for the safest option, and BTTS is probably the best choice here.

[letteredhub]

It's going to be a grand slam victory for Manchester City since they would be coming into thw game with their full house considering how important the stage in the competition at reached. The injuries with Newcastle players would no doubt impact on their performance which would be an advantage for City. A 1.75 odd in favour of City is fair.

In yesterday game after Arsenal beat Chelsea by 2:0 I quickly concluded that it's gonna be a City victory to the finals, because Newcastle right now don't possess the form to upset what we're looking at to be a City and Arsenal finals.

This leg  2 of 2 should just seal Man City's victory. The first leg recorded away victory of 2 goals to none in favour of City and now they are home which makes it even more difficult for Newcastle to win. If the goal margin was 1 maybe there would have been slight resistance from the away team in today's fixture but unfortunately conceded 2 in their home stadium giving Cuty big leverage ahead of the second leg. It's more likely we are having Arsenal against City in the final because I don't see Newcastle getting back into this game.

And so Manchester City at last secured the Carabao Cup finals by cooking Newcastle for the second time with a 3:1 score,  to meet Arsenal. I didn't have any doubts for City at any moment in this game because they're a side that plays differently when they get to the semi finals of any competition close to winning the trophy. Facing Arsenal is going to be another big game and with how Arsenal is in a solid form than City it makes things much difficult if th u can snatch the trophy.

I think Arsenal has a better chance of winning the final against Manchester City. Where do you stand based on your analysis of the Arsenal vs. Manchester City match? That's the question. There's still time to analyze. It's a different context from the bet we're going to make.

Arsenal, with their style of play, may be able to finish the match with a narrow victory over Manchester City.
Manchester City has won the EFL Cup trophy eight times, while Arsenal has only won it twice. That's a significant difference. In head-to-head matches between Manchester City and Arsenal in this tournament, Manchester City has won more often. Will this be a turning point for Arsenal to win the EFL Cup trophy, or will Manchester City win it again in 2026?

It's really going to be a tough game, I expect both teams to play with their full strength unlike that Arsenal vs Chelsea match which looked boring. Looking at this match, Arsenal are the favorites to win this, but we can't still underestimate Manchester City, it's been almost 6 years since Arsenal have gone to Wembley and Manchester City often go every season.  I think I watch one of Pep post match interviews where he said he prays to have his players back from injury to be able to compete against Arsenal. This current city squad might not be capable of beating Arsenal. Their defense is quite bad like that of Barcelona. If they could get Diaz and Gvardiol it will surely boost the squad confidence.

These two teams are in contrasting form, with Arsenal on fire while City is still inconsistent. The Gunners are indeed the favorites and must strive to win the title, as it significantly impacts the players' mentality. If Arteta fails to win the trophy, I predict they will be under pressure in other competitions, and all their goals could be dashed. Pep Guardiola is adept at finals, with vast experience, and he will prepare the right starting lineup to defeat his opponent. This EFL Cup final is certainly very interesting, as it pits two teams with similar playing characteristics, and we will truly see a beautiful game of football.

This is the most anticipated final by many because it brings together two great teams filled with world-class players. For Manchester City, the Carabao Cup may be their only hope of winning a trophy this season, as they are also six points behind Arsenal in the Premier League and seem unlikely to dislodge Arsenal at the top of the standings. For Arsenal, they are eager to sweep all trophies in all competitions, and that will start with the Carabao Cup. But what is clear is that this final will be an exciting and most interesting match to watch, as both teams play beautiful football.

For sure, if you're football fan especially from the UK you’ll definitely love this match and hope to see Arsenal vs Man City in the EFL Cup final.
About Man City you said this may be their only hope of winning a trophy, but I doubt that. They still have strong chance in the EPL since they are currently 2nd in the table. They are also heading into the UCL playoffs which gives them another opportunity to win trophy this season. I think out of these three competitions, Man City can still win at least one trophy this season given their current lineup. I won't be surprised if they will get these 3 trophy.

These 2 teams are going to fight each other not only for the Premier League but also the EFL Cup directly from now on. The odds for the final match are already out.

Arsenal: 2.38   Draw: 3.25   Manchester City: 2.85

Just like Arsenal are favoured for the Premier League championship it is the same for this cup as well. I also see them one step ahead to lift the cup trophy here. Arsenal even have a chance to win many more trophies this year but it is early to be sure of them anyway.

The carabao cup final is between the first club and the second club in the English premier league table, both club are in the premier league title race and they will also battle for who will win the carabao cup title, Arsenal odd lower than Man city odd because the bookies saw Arsenal as the favorite to the win title they are right about the odd but i believe that odds are just number it could even be that before the match day Man city might be in a good form than Arsenal and odd may change, just as you said it's early to be sure about Arsenal.

With that Kai Havertz's goals that helped Chelsea to defeat Manchester city in the 2021/2022 champions league finals doubling their champions league title, the player gained my respect and it should be likewise  for Chelsea fans and not to call him a wasted player.

Very unfortunate how football club fans forgets too quickly. Do you trust Arsenal fans to not display similar attitude to him when he no more play for the Gunners badge?

I can't speak for other fans, but I can speak for myself. I understand football in a way that I am never sentimental in regard to a player leaving the club I support to go to another club. Only delusional fans will forget everything Havertz did. I know their anger stems from the fact that Havertz signed for Arsenal, which is their rival fan, next door neighbour in London. It hurts them after 11 consecutive matches across all comeptition, Chelsea can't find a way to win against Arsenal.

Delusional fans will not stop in football. Alexander Arnold was critisized when Liverpool faced Real Madrid. When Salah lost form earlier this season, he also face critisism from delusional fans.

[Adbitco]

Here we go again, since after the first of the cup game that saw Arsenal beat Chelsea and Manchester City beat Newcastle, it was already certain that it's going to be Arsenal Vs Manchester City finals I Wembley but as they say, the the second still had to be played and funny enough, it still ended in both of those teams losing out again for the second time and not even a draw from one of them. It's Pep be Areteta again, formal student Vs master but this time around the student has graduated and has now been in charge of his team. One thing I'm glad about is the fact that we don't want to hear any excuses from either team, after all the squad from both teams has almost the same valuation, so they are locked in on that. Arsenal has been the team with the most form so clearly they will be the favourites, irrespective of that,  I don't want any excuses from Manchester City claiming that they are not in form. You guys have same squad valuations so no excuses.

I believe anything can happen in Arsenal game. I'll back City to win the game as long as they can play the same like they did at the first half. however, i come to 50/50 if they play like they did in the second half. Nevertheless, pep must be thinking about how to prevent Arsenal's set-piece caused by it's already give me anxiety.
Pep has to tell his club to prepare couter-shithousery against Arsenal during the set piece. Once his club can do that, it's difficult for Arsenal to score.

From what i've seen, Pep tried something news during the 2nd half against Newcastle, and i guess it's his experiment as a preparation for Arsenal game. yet his team conceded, which mean it's a suicidal gameplay if he uses it in the final.
hopefully, he'll figure it out a way to help tactically wise set up against Arsenal especially when it comes to the set piece.

Yea, anything can definitely happen and it's normal for everyone to pick a team they will side which again is totally normal, but from recent Arsenal has been better than Manchester City. We are all aware that Manchester City decline started last season but before last season Areteta has been winning Pep since around 2023, after that serious defeat that Manchester City melted on Arsenal, I think 4 - 1 if I'm not mistaken, after that year Manchester City hasn't won Arsenal again. Around this February period last year, Arsenal beat Manchester City 5 - 1, although when both sides met for the first leg in the league, they played out a 1 - 1 draw. Personally, I still feel that Arsenal has an edge over Manchester City but as you clearly say, anything can happen and I always try not to over rule that very fact.

[Frankolala]

Manchester City performed very well yesterday I never believe they will win their match so easily the way they did in the first half. They did very well and they used all the chances very well however in the second half they did not perform as suspected anymore if not that Newcastle missed a lot of their chances they would have scored a lot of goals in the second half but they missed the chances and they did not coordinate them self very well.

The final match will now be between Arsenal and Manchester the match will be a very tough game but I hope and I believe arsenal will have a win.

City has a porous defense which gave Newcastle the chance to penetrate through it in the second half but they gat no sharp attackers to put all those goal opportunities into the back of the net. That was what saved City from a turn around. If City go and play like this in the finals, it's gon be an easy win for Arsenal.

[satscraper]

It's going to be a grand slam victory for Manchester City since they would be coming into thw game with their full house considering how important the stage in the competition at reached.

Facing Arsenal is going to be another big game and with how Arsenal is in a solid form than City it makes things much difficult if th u can snatch the trophy.

I'm also inclined to think that Man City will be the winner ofCarabao Cup, as their 3-1 win against Newcastle showed that they are at full strength right now. They will meet again on February 21 in Premier League clash. Besides that, City will face Liverpool on February 8. If Man City confirm their strength in these two matches, then I will bet on them in the Carabao Cup final, which will take place just three days after they face Newcastle again.

So far Manchester City has really brace up from their declined state when the season was just starting and now it's being in a great shape but they haven't really being that strong like the City we know. While Arsenal has continued to be consistent with their form and currently they stand as the strongest team in the EPL, topping their domestic league and the UCL. So, Manchester City winning Newcastle and Liverpool in their next fixtures isn't quite enough reason to conclude that City would beat Arsenal in th Carabao Cup finals. Liverpool and Newcastle form can't be compared to Arsenal's currently.
