EFL Cup Final: Arsenal - Manchester City

After the two-legged semi-finals, the top two teams in the Premier League will play in the EFL Cup final.

The teams for the first final in England are now known. It will be a new chapter between Mikel Arteta's Arsenal and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. The top two teams in the Premier League will face each other at Wembley in search of the first title of the year. Despite being the least important title, it could mark the final stretch of the season.

The Gunners reached the final after beating their neighbours Chelsea at both Stamford Bridge and the Emirates Stadium. The Sky Blues, meanwhile, also beat Newcastle in both semi-final matches with a convincing performance. Thus, two teams will arrive at Wembley as the best teams in England, dreaming of a quadruple.
