Arsenal may have to face Man City at Wembley in the League Cup Final next month, but should we really be worried? City may have only lost one domestic game this season, but before the recent defeat to Liverpool, the last game they lost was against Arsenal in the FA Cup semifinal in the last campaign.
Arsenal have actually come out as the victors in our last 9 visits to the hallowed turf, and these were the final results..
.
April 12, 2014: Wigan 1-1 Arsenal (Arsenal won 4-2 on penalties); FA Cup semifinal
May 17, 2014: Arsenal 3-2 Hull 2; FA Cup final
Aug. 10, 2014: Arsenal 3-0 Manchester City; Community Shield
April 18, 2015: Reading 1-2 Arsenal; FA Cup semifinal
May 30, 2015: Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa; FA Cup final
Aug. 2, 2015: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea; Community Shield
April 23, 2017: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City; FA Cup semifinal
May 27, 2017: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea 1; FA Cup final.
Aug. 6, 2017: Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea (Arsenal won 4-1 on penalties); Community Shield
So why should we worry? We beat City and Chelsea last year on the way to winning our record 7th FA Cup under Wenger, and having beaten Chelsea again, why can’t we beat City again?
Nacho Monreal didn’t play in the first four of those matches, but he has never tasted defeat at Wembley, as he said: “It’s really nice for us because we have good memories, we have played six times at Wembley and we’ve always won a trophy playing there, so we come back to playing there. It is the opportunity to play in a final and we have to be focused in the next game and we will be ready for the final.”
We always are! No worries Nacho, we have another trophy coming our way!

What would be better top 4 an carabao win
Or winning Europa league an losing to city in carabao final
Mate, a cup is a cup, and we want both and Arsene will deliver, just wish him and the team well, its good to have a difference in opinion but not fair to slate him and wish him bad, just remember he was wanted by ManU, Real Madrid and PSG, yet he remained loyal to us. With trouble offloaded to ManU top 4 is possible.
I total agree with you, some other fans i real do not understand, Support the team and stop criticizing, Arsenal players have been criticized by other teams , players ,coaches and pundits but if we arsenal fans do these we are putting their spirit down, They real needs our support and see how happy they are when they win and they always thank the supporters .
Things will be good let us hope we sign Auba and Evans . I got confidence Arsenal will win vs man city. Thanks the sulk Sanchez with his stink attitude is gone as he was disrupting the team is gone, I am glad players say good byee to him.
And another thing
How long we gonna have to wait for aubameyang ….so many batman jokes on layaway I need to dust off.
Sort it out arsenal .
So many rubbish jokes ur preventing here ….
Giroud is as good as Auba,but with different prospects. He has propelled arsenal many times through his areal abilities. if arsenal miss out on Auba, its okay, since the stubborn trouble is out of emirates now.
totally agree…Giroud offer something different compared to Auba…
hes very strong in the air and every opposition clubs know that….
Auba is not priority if he signs its a bonus if not lets move on…
there are other priorities like winger or DM
Agree, auba but not at girouds expense, wellback should make way.
Carabao cup man city dont give so much attention to it, arsenal should aim for top four. The table tells a different story. Anybody can beat the present chelsea team, they are weak. Man united came to emirates and stood while we played and they went away with 3 goals. If we cant get to top 4, we shall be forced pay higher wages to attract good players. Something arsenal cant afford I am not carried away by just 2 wins.
