As the Carabao Cup final approaches on Sunday, Arsenal and Manchester City prepare for a highly anticipated showdown at Wembley Stadium.
This fixture pits two of the Premier League’s leading contenders against each other in a match not only for silverware but also for valuable psychological momentum ahead of the decisive stages of the domestic season.
Arsenal have demonstrated strong form and consistency in recent months, while Manchester City bring their renowned experience in high-stakes encounters.
Adding to the pre-match discussion, respected pundit and former England international Joe Cole has shared his assessment on The Dressing Room podcast.
“I’m not working on the final, I’m going as a fan, which I actually haven’t done for a long time. I fancy Arsenal, I think Arsenal beat them.
“Having watched Man City live, I fancy Arsenal – but it’s a great game for the neutral. I’ll make another prediction: I think there will be a bit of needle and a little bit of nastiness on the benches. There’s a lot of tension building at this point in the season, so look out for that.”
