Kepa Arrizabalaga has been named in the Arsenal team to face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
Mikel Arteta has stuck with the Spanish shot-stopper ahead of regular number one David Raya, with Kepa having played throughout the club’s cup campaign.
Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber are absent from the Arsenal squad for the clash at Wembley, with Kai Havertz and Ben White named in the starting side. Bukayo Saka captains the Gunners in the absence of Martin Odegaard.
