Arsenal are hitting top form at exactly the right moment, building strong momentum as they prepare for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
With multiple competitions still alive, Mikel Arteta’s side is fully focused on ending the season with silverware — something fans have been craving for years.
Positive news about Timber
A major positive update has now emerged from the Arsenal camp. Jurrien Timber has been included in the Netherlands squad for upcoming friendlies, easing fears over his recent injury scare.
The defender was forced off during Arsenal’s Premier League win over Everton, raising serious doubts about his availability.
He also missed the crucial Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen, adding to concerns ahead of the final at Wembley.
However, his call-up suggests the issue is not as serious as initially feared. It now appears increasingly likely that Timber will be available for selection this weekend — a huge boost for Arteta’s defensive plans.
Timber has been one of Arsenal’s most reliable performers this season, offering composure, flexibility, and defensive stability.
His return could prove decisive in such a high-stakes encounter.
Meanwhile, Mikel Merino remains sidelined long-term after undergoing surgery on a serious foot injury. He will play no part in the final.
This showdown presents a golden opportunity for Arsenal to end their trophy drought, with their last major success coming in the FA Cup back in 2020.
Interestingly, Arsenal have not lost to Manchester City since April 2023, a statistic that will further boost confidence heading into this clash.
Still, memories remain from their last Carabao Cup final meeting in 2018, where City came out on top.
Excitement is building rapidly among supporters, with all eyes now on the official team news before kick-off.
With confidence high and key players potentially returning, Arsenal look ready to deliver on the big stage.
A statement victory at Wembley could define their season — and finally bring silverware back to North London.
