Opposing manager - Mikel arteta

After leaving Guardiola’s City backroom staff for the head coach role at Arsenal in December 2019, Mikel Arteta has rebuilt the Gunners into a title-challengers.

Since he took up the Emirates hot-seat, he’s led them to second-place finishes each of the last three Premier League seasons while winning the FA Cup in 2020.

Although that cup triumph represents the only major honour of the Spaniard’s tenure so far, under his stewardship, Arsenal have been one of the most consistent teams domestically and on the continent.

And after winning three of their opening four top-flight matches in 2025/26 so far they’re on course to challenge once again this season.

Pep Guardiola preview

The City boss will address the media on Friday 17 April from 12:30 (UK).

You can follow along live on mancity.com and our official app, with a full written recap available shortly after its conclusion.

DANGER MEN

Declan Rice has been a powerhouse for Arsenal this season and his performances so far have helped Arteta’s side to dominate games.

He also has a flair for set pieces, and, with the side equalling the record for the most goals scored from a corner in a Premier League season (16), there’s no doubt that they’re prolific from them too.

Eberechi Eze has soon found his feet for Arsenal and is a dangerous midfielder who can carve a goal out of nowhere - as was seen in his outrageous strike against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

Playing Ben White behind as an overlapping full-back sees him pair up well with Bukayo Saka and will be something for us to keep a close eye on Sunday afternoon.

Previous meeting

Nico O’Reilly’s second-half double was the decisive factor on a special day at Wembley as City won the League Cup for a ninth time with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal.

The 21-year-old Academy graduate was the hero from left-back, getting into the box twice in five minutes to head home and ensure an unforgettable occasion.

In what was the first ever League Cup final between the top two sides in the country, the Blues were more than a match for the current Premier League leaders every step of the way in and out of possession.

It meant yet more history for Pep Guardiola, who has now claimed 19 major honours as City boss and becomes the first manager to win this competition five times.

Meanwhile, our tally of nine triumphs in the League Cup is second only to Liverpool on 10.

Last time out

City moved within six points of the Premier League summit with a 3-0 victory away at Chelsea.

After a goalless first half, Pep Guardiola’s side were ruthless after the break with three goals in the space of 17 minutes.

Nico O’Reilly got the crucial opener with a header from Rayan Cherki’s cross before the French midfielder worked an opening for Marc Guéhi to fire home a second.

And Jeremy Doku ensured there was no way back for Chelsea as City’s determined press forced a turnover that the Belgian ruthlessly finished.
