The Cityzens are currently on a three-match losing streak in all competitions, but still go into the League Cup final as slight favourites.

Ahead of the much-awaited encounter, they will be without two key players. Josko Gvardiol has been out with a leg fracture and won't play any part this weekend.

Alongside him, winter signing Marc Guehi has been ruled out. He is ineligible to play, having been registered after the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

As per EFL rules, players are only eligible to feature for a second club in the League Cup if they are registered prior to the first leg of the semi-final.

Antoine Semenyo featured in the first leg for the Cityzens after his winter move from Bournemouth. He is therefore available to take on the Gunners.

Arsenal go into the final as potential underdogs, given they have not won any major trophy under manager Mikel Arteta since the summer of 2020.
