[El Gunner]

would be nice if it ends up being a United - Arsenal final, the two most decorated teams in the competition playing it out ,,, and of course the most successful one of two will come out on top!

[Jay29]

United vs Chelsea, Arsenal vs Newcastle or City.

[BarcaLearning]

So it should be City vs Chelsea again in the final, I hope. Another Manchester derby wouldnt mind it also, as long as City win of course

[Duronto-Roddur]

I hope we have a squad to go deep in the Cups too. There's something oddly romantic and exciting about the cups.

[Hapless_Hans]

The teams

Arsenal: Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Tierney, Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Macey, Holding, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Torreira, Smith, Willock, Nelson, Saka.

Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, D Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.
Subs: Carson, Stones, Zinchenko, B Silva, Rodrigo, Fernandinho, Cancelo, Otamendi, Foden.

AUBAMEYANG 1-0

[RealGunner]

That was a fantastic team goal.

[Hapless_Hans]

Say what you will about Arsenal's squad, but a Xhaka-Ceballos midfield sure does not lack swagger lmao

[RealGunner]

It's been a fantastic midfield lol

[Nishankly]

Xhaka seems unbeatable today.

[Hapless_Hans]

imagine selling Sané while keeping Mahrez @Casciavit

[Hapless_Hans]

Good half from Arsenal

Sharp, confident, pushed City off their game

[El Gunner]

can't believe what im seeing, we probably should've been 3 up if we were more incisive

[Casciavit]

Amazing set up by Arteta wow. City is finding it very difficult out there.

[Hapless_Hans]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUBA

[RealGunner]

Mendy ruining the offside trap

[RealGunner]

Mendy ruining the offside trap

what a trash defender he's been this season

Pep only plays him to stop counters. THat's it lol

[Hapless_Hans]

Mendy ruining the offside trap

what a trash defender he's been this season

Pep only plays him to stop counters. THat's it lol

well in that case he should not ruin the offside trap

anyway, 10 minutes is a long time if you have a 7 man defense and 8% possession

[Helmer]

Wowww with almost one touch or without it, he was there with the ball in the box and 1-1 situation. Amazing awareness and what half arsed football from City seemed like they didn't even try running hard enough.
