⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season

[Sexylizzy2813]

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.

Let's say both teams have switched performance, by this time few seasons ago Arsenal was playing like Manchester City now and City was dominating the whole of England. If that time comes for the both teams to play the final I still think Arsenal will be ready to hit City like a revenge mission because for so long Arsenal have been on the losing end each time they face Man City. Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle are almost the same if you ask me and the 3 teams have been managing in all competitions so why would City come out on top when they face Arsenal in the final? No matter how good City might look against these teams you mentioned I don't think they can defeat Arsenal because the Gunners are seriously hungry to secure something this season and you could see it with how they perform.

Their team is now very strong enough to match City’s strength you can see that they've been very dominant this season with strong defence and midfield sobi expect something different this season, I expect them to dominate and win City this time around so history doesnt repeat itself again.

 Well I won't conclude that City won't win Arsenal, they're stronger than Liverpool and Newcastle you mentioned and also vety hungry to win a trophy too especially since Pep could be leaving this summer, he'll likely want to retire from coaching his team with trophies this season and it's an opportunity to win one so City won't joke with the match.

I could agree to a relatively switch in performance for the two teams but would make more sense seeing Arsenal win the EPL this time as Manchester City has always previously done when in great form.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle are almost the same if you ask me and the 3 teams have been managing in all competitions so why would City come out on top when they face Arsenal in the final?

We both saying same thing here against what @satscraper said. Surely this just another opportunity for Arsenal to revenge for all the seasons which Manchester City has being denying them trophies and it would be an amazing record that Arsenal wins both the Carabao Cup and EPL this season.

Don't be too quick to draw your conclusions that Arsenal will win EPL because it isn't certain yet. Let's watch how their performance will be like till the end of the season if they will have the title fever or not. As for Carabao cup, I believe Arsenal is the favorite to win the finals. They look better than City.

But let's look at it this way, it will be very disappointing if the Gunners go into this game and lose to a slow side as Manchester City because after months of hard work they lose to Manchester City who they are topping in the EPL table and after this Carabao Cup they go and lose the other competition they're in when we see them (Arsenal) as the favorite, I wonder how the fans of Arsenal would feel if all I said happens.
City to win Arsenal will be hard honestly and Pep is not even sure of winning against teams like Brighton, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and the others not to include Arsenal, they're not as fast as they used to be and check the way they counter in some games is not the same way they used to before and that's why clubs like Nottingham Forest would see them as one of those teams with same strength.

This season sounds like a very promising season for Arsenal in the premier league and yes we can’t really conclude they’re going to win it yet but they are sure favorites. Arsenal needs to be consistent with their performance to get that dream season this season..the champions league trophy, the premier league the FA cup and the EFL which I think is somehow attainable if they can keep up and improve their best performance.

The EFL final on March 22 is going to be very interesting to watch, Manchester City’s performance isn’t to be underrated and also Arsenal are gong to give it their best and that will be their first meeting this season, well let’s see how it later goes.

Their first meeting this season? Arsenal have already played Manchester City once this season, and that was at the Emirates in the Premier League, and it ended in a 1-1 draw.

This EFL final encounter is the second time we play Manchester City this season, and it will not be the last. There are two other meetings again, the return leg of the first fixture in the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League, and also likely in the Champions League.

Of all the trophies and titles, the Premier League has to be one of them for it to really count.

Yeah, they already played against each other and Man City were so close to winning that game also! Martinelli saved his team in the stoppage time then.

Will this happen again though or Arsenal be more careful this time? I'm looking forward to the duel. However there is more than a month for that I'm afraid. March 22 is the date for the game to be played. I believe in Arsenal to lift the trophy.

Ohhh! I forgot that match..it was in September huh? The match was lit but I thought they haven’t meet this season yet but nevertheless from that time to now I  think Arsenal’s performance gave improve positively more than that of Manchester City, so they should have the upper hand here.

So you’re An Arsenal fan! Wow..definitely I’m expecting Arsenal to win that final and take their first trophy of the season.

Quite true, the trio of Manchester City, liverpool and Newcastle seem to be struggling this season, Liverpool's case is very peculiar because between these three they are the team that had the poorest result through they are now experiencing some stability in terms of performance both in the league and in other competitions but I don't see any possibility of Liverpool winning any trophy this season, I could say the same about Manchester city and Newcastle too, their chances are very slim

Pep's appeal to play Guehi rejected by EFL. So he can't play Guehi in the final against Arsenal. Meanwhile, he can still put Semenyo in their squad. It doesn't look good considering how calmly Guehi was defending for City. Missing him obviously becomes a very crucial result.

yet, i'm not thinking it will give a major blow for his squad caused by everyone is ready. So i think it's still gonna be a very entertaining game to be watched. I expect his club to perform with the same line up like what they did against Newcastle.

It’s too early to conclude on the team that’s going to win the premier league title this season. Arsenal will be playing against Manchester city in the carabao cup final. It’s going to be an interesting and tough one. I don’t even know why people are already concluding that Arsenal will be the one to win the carabao cup.  I know Arsenal is currently in form, but I feel their performance do drop whenever they are playing a big match, the formation that Arteta do make use is what makes them to concede when playing against a big team like Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola understands the importance of having both Guehi and Semenyo in the team against Arsenal in the finals, Manchester City will not only be hoping to have a good defense but their attack will be boosted with Haaland and Semenyo doing some damage in the attacking force and he's going to be confidence because Arsenal will nut have way to penetrate their defense freely. Manchester City will appear with the same squad they used against Newcastle but Arsenal form is not like Newcastle the performance of the Manchester City players will determine if they will get the same results like the Newcastle game.

Arsenal looks better than a lot of teams, I don’t find any team that could match them as it is but, is that want really determines who wins what?

Arsenal is a lot better team at the moment than Manchester United and yet, Manchester United managed to beat them 3:2 goals. That wasn’t expected and looking how badly Manchester United have played this season, you wouldn’t expect them to win in a game like that but, they managed it and that’s all it would take, just meaning to win and halting a good defense line.

Manchester City knows they’ve got a chance to take something here and I think they can.

It's not a quick conclusion though but this season appears to be very different from other seasons where Arsenal tends to face all that hard luck with injuries problem, this season they have a full house with substitute to go with which has really helped them reduced all that fatigue the players were burdened with due to their participation in many competitions. As long as they continue winning their games then a 6 points in gap with City is relatively sufficient to take them to trophy.

This is a different season before now Arsenal is known to start the season well but before December they start dropping points till they are overtaken in the league but their season has been different they started well and has continued to produce good results more than Manchester City, they have no injuries so far and the bad luck is far from them which is why you see them still winning and being ahead with 6 point gap, they have a very good chance of they make it to the champions League finals as well as going to the 38 games wish the form they have I nthe team, a trophy awaits them if they maintain the energy and performance.

The Carabao Cup final match on March 22nd is going to be very interesting, we all know that but as you mentioned, this is the first time these parties are meeting, this is not correct as these teams have faced each other in a game before even the match between Arsenal and Manchester City there was undecided. However, given that these two teams have recently reached the EFL Cup final, it seems to me that they are preparing hard. We looked carefully today Manchester City won against Liverpool tonight and their score line is 3:1, based on these statistics it is now proven that Pep Guardiola is training his players correctly. On the other hand, Arsenal are also very cautious about the EFL Carabao Cup final because it seems to me they want to taste the trophy in this competition.

We can say that this season Carabao Cup final is an ideal one, pitting Arsenal against Manchester City, with both teams currently in good form. It is clear that they are eager to win the Cup, as a form of affirmation of their respective ambitions.
It's still very difficult to predict who will be victorious, as the final match isn't until March, and there are many other matches to be played that could certainly impact their performances. I think the Champions League campaign for both teams will likely add to the pressure and make both managers re-arrange their priorities.

Yeah I will say Arsenal looks better than Manchester city this season, but Manchester city is also playing so well, they are unpredictable because they end up surprising us in matches.

Arsenal plays better, but the two teams are in form, and the result of the match is just going to be difficult to predict, we should know it’s a final, and we should know it’s always so difficult to predict the final. The match is just going to be a tough one, and the two teams have equal chances that they going to be winning the match. We shouldn’t just jump into conclusion that Arsenal are going to win the EFL CUP.

[nelson4lov]

I fancy seeing arsenal win the Carabao cup. They have longed for a trophy and this is a good opportunity for them to win one. Based on the head to head stats on paper, I'd say Arsenal would likely win it because they have been the better of the two teams this season and it won't be the first time that they would face City in the last 5 years and come out victorious.
