Bukayo Saka membongkar suasana di ruang ganti Arsenal saat The Gunners terus mengejar prestasi empat gelar sekaligus yang bersejarah, dan pesan dari bintang muda klub ini terdengar sangat mirip dengan pesan yang disampaikan Erling Haaland kepada Mikel Arteta musim lalu. Pemain internasional Inggris ini menegaskan bahwa timnya "tetap rendah hati" saat mereka bersiap menghadapi Manchester City di final Carabao Cup pada hari Minggu.
Pep Guardiola telah secara resmi mengonfirmasi kiper utama yang akan diturunkan dalam final Carabao Cup melawan Arsenal di Wembley pada hari Minggu. Meskipun Gianluigi Donnarumma selama ini menjadi pilihan utama di Liga Premier, nama yang mengejutkan akan menjadi kiper utama dalam perebutan trofi pertama musim ini.
"Catur mengasah pikiran, dan ada kesamaan yang jelas dengan sepak bola," kata Erling Haaland saat mengumumkan investasinya dalam Kejuaraan Catur Dunia Total pekan ini. "Kamu harus berpikir cepat, percaya pada instingmu, dan memprediksi beberapa langkah ke depan. Strategi dan perencanaan adalah segalanya." Strategi striker Manchester City ini tak bisa disalahkan, kecuali di satu stadion tertentu: Wembley.
Arsenal akan berusaha mengakhiri puasa gelar selama enam tahun pada Minggu ini saat mereka menghadapi rival mereka, Manchester City, dalam final Carabao Cup di Wembley. Jika ditelusuri lebih jauh, The Gunners belum pernah meraih trofi di hadapan penonton langsung sejak kemenangan mereka di Piala FA 2017, saat Arsene Wenger masih menjabat sebagai manajer dan Mikel Arteta baru saja menyelesaikan musim pertamanya sebagai asisten Pep Guardiola.
The Gunners tengah cemas menanti kabar kondisi kebugaran Martin Odegaard dan Jurrien Timber menjelang final Carabao Cup. Odegaard belum tampil sejak laga imbang melawan Brentford bulan lalu, sementara Timber terpaksa ditarik keluar saat kemenangan 2-0 atas Everton Sabtu lalu. Ketidakhadiran mereka sangat dirasakan, namun Mikel Arteta tetap optimis.
