Arsenal v Manchester City Team News: De Bruyne, Aguero, Ozil All Start in Carabao Cup Final
15:39, 25 Feb 2018

Manchester City will look to win their first piece of silverware this afternoon, but the runaway Premier League leaders will have to get the better of Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, which gets under way at Wembley at 4:30pm, and both sides have named a strong line-up for the marquee final.

Pep Guardiola's side got the better of Championship side Bristol City in their semi-final, but having lost to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup final will be looking to bounce back to winning ways, and Guardiola will unleash a host of big guns on Sunday with Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and David Silva all starting for the Cityzens.

There's no Raheem Sterling in the squad for City, while there's a welcome return for Gabriel Jesus, who has been named on the bench alongside Ederson, who will watch on as Claudio Bravo will be the man between the sticks for City, who will line up as warm favourites.

Arsene Wenger has never won this competition, and he will be hoping his side can bounce back from a poor display against Ostersunds in the Europa League, but the Frenchman welcomes back Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to his starting line-up, while Mesut Ozil is another key player for the Gunners, and the German star will play from the start.

David Ospina will play in goal instead of Petr Cech, while Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere will play in the middle of the park for Arsenal, who will be hoping to unlock a City side that have been the dominant side this season.
