Arsenal take on Manchester City in the final of the Carabao Cup at Wembley, and Gabby Agbonlahor has made a confident prediction.
The Gunners are chasing the quadruple this season, and their first chance of silverware comes on Sunday.
It’s never easy to call a final, but Agbonlahor is convinced that Arsenal are going to emerge victorious against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Early predictions, who will come out on top when Arsenal face Man City at Wembley?
Gabby Agbonlahor says Arsenal will beat Manchester City in ‘spicy’ Carabao Cup final
Arsenal are in a much better position than Manchester City at the moment.
The Gunners are nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table and are also through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are out of Europe, and they don’t look like the team that they once were under Guardiola.
That makes the Carabao Cup final on Sunday a huge clash for Arsenal, and Agbonlahor cannot see anything other than a Gunners win.
Speaking before Manchester City crashed out of the Champions League, the Aston Villa icon said on talkSPORT: “Arsenal win, Arsenal win, Ally (McCoist), for me.
“I just think they know how important that game is. I just think when I look at Man City, I just think Gabriel (Magalhaes) and (William) Saliba are going to be so aggressive on (Erling) Haaland, the form that he’s been in.
“And I think it’s going to get spicy on the touchline. I know they’re friends, (Mikel) Arteta and Guardiola, but I think everything’s on the line in this game.”

Why Arsenal should be confident about beating Manchester City
There are many reasons why Arsenal should back themselves against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Firstly, the Gunners have been the best team in England this season, and their results in every single competition prove that.
Secondly, Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six games against the Sky Blues, winning three and drawing three, with an aggregate score of 10-5.
Finally, Mikel Arteta has never lost a game at Wembley as a player or manager, and we’re sure he will do everything he can to maintain that record.
For those reasons, we think Arsenal should be confident about winning the Carabao Cup on Sunday.
