Manchester City overcame Arsenal 3-0 in the final of the Carabao Cup on Sunday

The Gunners will be hoping to make amends for their dire display in the final, beaten even more comprehensively by the Premier League leaders than the 3-0 score-line at Wembley Stadium suggested.

But City – fresh from their first silverware of the season – are the strong favourites to come out on top again.

Winning here would be another big step towards the top-flight title, moving City 16 points clear of second-placed Manchester United.

Meanwhile defeat would leave Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal a chasmic 10 points behind rivals Tottenham Hotspur in fourth, with Europa League glory then their only feasible avenue of qualification for next year’s Champions League.

But can a wounded Arsenal bounce back and inflict only City's second defeat of the season?
