Arsenal v Man City - EFL Cup Final Player Bets
Earlier this week, we discussed the stats and recommend four bets for Sunday's EFL Cup final which sees Arsenal and Manchester City - the current best teams in English football - go head to head at Wembley.
The Gunners are 7/101.70 to lift the trophy while City are 1/12.00 to win it for the fifth time under Pep Guardiola. Can City put their midweek Champions League exit behind them and claim their first silverware for a couple of seasons or will Arsenal win the first in what could be an historic quadruple?
It is a fascinating match-up, with plenty of betting angles to explore, but now that the markets on goalscorers, assist and more are live, we want to pick three player bets for the big game.
And remember, Betfair are giving football punters the chance to Bet £10 and Get £10 on accas and bet builders until the end of March.
Bet #1 - Back Haaland to hurt Arsenal again
Erling Haaland has scored in each of his last three games against Arsenal in all competitions. However, he's never scored in six appearances at Wembley so far in his Manchester City career. Could he final get one there on Sunday?
Bet #2 - Back Cherki to make an impact at Wembley
Rayan Cherki has been involved in four goals in his four League Cup appearances for Manchester City (3 goals, 1 assist), averaging a goal involvement once every 47 minutes in the competition. With numubers like that, the Frenchman should revel in the big game atmosphere.
Back Cherki to score or assist
Bet #3 - Back Eze to inflict more final misery on City
Arsenal's Eberechi Eze scored Crystal Palace's winner against Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final. He could become the third player to score against an opponent in both a League Cup and an FA Cup final after Roberto Di Matteo (vs Middlesbrough) and Didier Drogba (vs Liverpool).
