Hell hath no fury like a Manchester City side who have just suffered humiliation against a League One side. Their bid to win a quadruple is over and another bad result against Arsenal will see them down to a double at best this season. City fielded a strong side against Wigan and dominated possession, even when down to ten men but sometimes luck is against you and the goals just don't go in. It'll be interesting to see what kind of side Pep Guardiola puts out for this final though some reserve players are likely to be selected. City haven't always had it their own way in this competition this season with two ties won via penalty shoot-outs. Arsenal had to get past Chelsea in the semi-finals and needed extra time to get past Championship side Norwich City earlier in the competition. Their form is a bit up and down of late, especially away from the Emirates with losses at Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Swansea and here at Wembley against Tottenham. They have only won one of their last seven games and that's why the best tip here is to go for Manchester City to win in 90 minutes.
