Arsenal are tonight aiming to become the first team to beat Manchester City in the EFL Cup in over four years as they look for a reprieve from their dire Premier League form.Not since Manchester United in October 2016 have City been bettered in the League Cup, though it remains to be seen if Mikel Arteta will make significant changes for the visit of his former employers.

With Chelsea on the horizon, Arsenal may prioritise arresting their form freefall, while City are not known for making wholesale changes across competitions.

Arsenal vs Manchester City is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, December 22, 2020.

The match will be held behind closed doors at Emirates Stadium.

Team news

Arsenal have Gabriel back after suspension and will be sweating over the fitness of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of kick-off. Arteta will be tempted to shuffle his pack, but Gabriel Martinelli will likely remain on the bench after his first minutes in nine months at the weekend.

For Man City, they also have striker woes with both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero doubts ahead of the game. Ferran Torres should feature, while Phil Foden will be pushing for a start.

Prediction: Arsenal 0-2 Man City

No matter the team Pep Guardiola chooses, it is good enough to beat Arsenal even without their opponents’ confidence being at an all-time low. Expect City to stroll into the semi-final.
