Arsenal vs Manchester City: Carabao Cup Final Live – Team News & Updates

Arsenal and Manchester City drew 0-0 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, March 22, 2026. The match, which began at 19:30 GMT, was broadcast on TV 8.5 and Exxen.

The fixture comes after contrasting fortunes for both clubs in European competitions. Arsenal recently progressed in the Champions League, having eliminated Bayer Leverkusen. Manchester City, however, suffered elimination from the Champions League following defeats to Real Madrid. The Carabao Cup final presented an opportunity for City to seek redemption after their European exit.

Arsenal entered the match without key midfielder Martin Odegaard, who has been sidelined since February following an injury. Mikel Merino was as well absent from the Arsenal squad due to ongoing recovery from surgery.

The starting lineups were as follows:

Arsenal: Kepa, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Havertz, Trossard, Gyökeres

Manchester City: Trafford, Nunes, Khusanov, Ake, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo, Semenyo, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

The first 15 minutes of the match saw a scoreless start, with neither team able to break the deadlock. In the 38th minute, Arsenal’s Saka delivered a corner kick, finding Hincapie at the far post, but his header went over the bar.

As of the latest reports, the score remains 0-0.
