Arsenal vs Man City live stream

The Arsenal vs Man City live stream provides a chance for the two top teams in the Premier League to win a trophy, as Wembley Stadium hosts the 2025/26 Carabao Cup final.

Arsenal vs Man City live stream: match preview

Arsenal and Man City are currently locked in a two-way tussle for the Premier League title, but they will put that on hold to contest the Carabao Cup final this weekend.

Arsenal start as favourites. The best team in England this term, the Gunners are chasing a quadruple and currently sit top of the Premier League, while also having reached the last eight of the Champions League and FA Cup. The Gunners are under pressure, though. Their last piece of silverware came back in 2020, with a very different team, and pressure can do funny things to a team desperate to end a trophy drought. Mikel Arteta's side are, though, six games unbeaten against today's opponents and knocked out Chelsea in the semi-finals of this competition.

Pep Guardiola will hope his team's trophy-winning experience gets them over the line at Wembley, but it has not been a particularly good March for Man City so far. As well as dropping four points in the title race to relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest and West Ham, Guardiola's men were dumped out of the Champions League in midweek after home-and-away defeats by Real Madrid. The Catalan tactician will need Erling Haaland to find his best form after an unusually dry spell.

This has the potential to be one of the games of the season, as Arsenal and Man City battle it out in front of almost 90,000 fans. Who will get their hands on the prize? Tune in to find out – here's all the ways to watch an Arsenal vs Man City live stream, including FREE stream options.
