Arsenal vs Manchester City Sunday: 18:30 CET (+2) - 16:30 local time, Wembley Stadium, London The Gunners prepare to take on Manchester City in the EFL (League) Cup Final for a chance to win their 3rd trophy in this competition. As the Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger is currently under a lot of pressure yet again, this match is important for the Gunners to regain their confidence. For Man City, its a huge opportunity to win their 5th EFL Cup.         EFL Cup Trophy Image Source: Mirror Sport                                                   Although Arsenal's defence has struggled in the Premier League, it is the complete opposite in the League Cup, as the Gunners have only conceded two goals in five matches. Rob Holding has played a key role at the back as he has a 84% pass accuracy rate and has won 55% of the duels he has faced. New signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan made three assists in his Premier League debut against Everton two weeks as he could be a threat to Man City.
