Arsenal and Manchester City will face off in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium. The match offers more than a trophy, as it can provide a morale boost in the Premier League title race. The Gunners are currently at the top of the Premier League standings, with title challenger City nine points behind. A reason for City's success has been its quality players on the pitch and the bench. One factor in the League Cup match will be whether Erling Haaland breaks his Wembley curse. Haaland has five goals and two assists in nine appearances against Arsenal, but he has not scored in six games at Wembley. After scoring 19 goals before Christmas, Haaland has three goals in 13 games in 2026.
