The first silverware of the season was decided on March 22 when Arsenal and Manchester City met in the EFL Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

The sides had much to play for this season, with the Gunners competing for a domestic and continental quadruple while City were still able to win three trophies following their Champions League exit against Real Madrid.

The winners were also hoping for a psychological edge in the title race.

Arsenal had reached this stage after a nervy two-legged semi-final win over Chelsea. City cruised past Newcastle.
