Arsenal’s first opportunity to win a major trophy since 2020 comes against Man City in the EFL Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta is unbeaten against Pep Guardiola in the last six matches and will be hoping to secure silverware for the first time in almost six years. 

On the back of a hugely disappointing exit against Barcelona, Newcastle host rivals Sunderland in a game that represents huge importance for Eddie Howe, whilst Tottenham and Nottingham Forest go head-to-head in a very important six pointer in the battle to avoid the drop.
