Arsenal vs Manchester City: Mysterious Cat Predicts Winner of Carabao Cup Final
- The first domestic title in England is up for grabs on Sunday, March 22, as Arsenal battle Man City in the 2026 Carabao Cup final
- Ahead of the game, a mystic cat, famous for predicting the outcome of football matches, has revealed the winner of the final
- Arsenal are tipped as favourites for the title as they currently have a nine-point lead against Man City in the Premier League, but history leans towards Man City
Arsenal and Manchester City head to Wembley Stadium on Sunday, March 22, to face off in the Carabao Cup final as both teams aim to claim the first trophy of the season.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have not lifted the title since April 1993 and have suffered six final losses since then, including the loss to Man City in 2018.

If recent form is anything to go by, the Gunners have a good chance to finally end the wait for the Carabao Cup title.
Many believe Arsenal have the upper hand as they currently lead the Premier League table with nine points over Man City, and are still in the hunt for four titles.
Pep Guardiola's City, on the other hand, are also hurting from their midweek Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid.
Man City have only won one of their last five matches, and that was in the FA Cup against Newcastle. Back-to-back defeats against Real Madrid, plus draws against West Ham and Nottingham Forest, have put an end to their European dreams and hampered their Premier League title hopes.
