Arsenal vs Manchester City: Kick-off time, confirmed team news, goal and score updates

Arsenal are one step away from another trip to Wembley as they face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on Tuesday night.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is once again coming up against his old protege Pep Guardiola in what has been his most challenging spell as Arsenal manager so far.

All the statistics in Arsenal's Premier League campaign make grim reading this season after enduring their worst start to a campaign in almost 50 years.

However, the cup match at Emirates Stadium presents itself as an opportunity to produce a confidence-boosting performance ahead of tough upcoming league fixtures against Chelsea and Brighton.

"I'm zero interested in ball possession," said Arteta before the game.

"I'm interested in what we do with that ball and how efficient we are. Our conversion rate and our finishing quality is what is letting us down."

Arteta welcomes back Gabriel into the team after he served his suspension, and it looks likely that he'll come straight into the line-up for the match in north London.

It's expected that a number of youngsters will be given an opportunity to feature with Emile Smith Rowe, Folarin Balogun and Miguel Azeez all doing well in recent Europa League cameo appearances.
