Hello, good morning and welcome to another matchday live! The first piece of men’s domestic silverware is up for grabs this afternoon as Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

The Gunners go into the match with a 14-game unbeaten streak behind them, which should give Mikel Arteta and Co plenty of confidence. Meanwhile, City have not won since their FA Cup fifth-round victory over Newcastle on 7 March – but anything can happen on Cup final day.

Elsewhere, we’ve got three Premier League fixtures to look forward to, including the Tyne-Wear derby between Newcastle and Sunderland. There is also a potential relegation clash taking place as 16th-placed Tottenham host 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Aston Villa take on West Ham at Villa Park.
