Kbs468:
When is the quarter final draw coming up

City will play Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals


The game will be played at the Emirates Stadium.

City will be hoping to avenge last July's 2-0 FA Cup semi-final against the Gunners as Pep Guardiola again locks horns with his protégé Mikel Arteta.

The teams last met in the Carabao Cup in 2018 when City beat Arsenal 3-0 in the final at Wembley.


It will be the ninth meeting in the League Cup between the clubs.

The Gunners were unbeaten in the first five, but City have won the last three meetings without conceding a goal.

City are looking for a record-equalling fourth successive triumph in a competition the Club has excelled in over the past decade.

Liverpool won the League Cup four times on the bounce between 1981 and 1984.

The full quarter-final draw is:

Stoke City v Spurs

Brentford v Newcastle United

Arsenal v Manchester City

Everton v Manchester United

The matches will be played week commencing 21 December.

Jürgen Klopp on facing Arteta’s Arsenal again: “Tonight will be hard - super hard. Again, without sounding like an Arsenal fan, I really love their squad & I love what they do at the moment.” #afc https:///C5aZBCPmT6

Arsenal and Manchester United have held talks over a move for defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles, talks have been positive and a move looks very much on the cards. The fee is in the region of £22m + add-ons. #MUFC #ManUtd � #AFC #Gunners �⚪ https:///B30CrXU2gN


Some more information on this, as of yet there has been no talks with the player or his representatives. Manchester United inquired about the player and are very interested in signing Maitland-Niles. As we said talks went well and the fee was agreed, for now, just an inquiry.

EXCLUSIVE: #AFC & #OL have reached to an agreement over the transfer of Houssem #Aouar. #OL have accepted the offer of €45M+ €5M adds on from #afc. French Club will sign Lucas Paqueta as a replacement. Medical expected in 48+ hours. Deal Done ✅���

KT starts! For Arsenal

KT starts!

Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson and his representatives have held talks with Crystal Palace, over a season long loan move to the south Londoners. #AFC �⚪ #CPFC ��� https:///qal1Omn4oQ

Mikel Arteta on a defensive playstyle: “I’m here to win. I’m here to find ways to do it. The players we have available can change our game plan. We have to be able to adapt. I think in football now, one way doesn’t work unless you are superior to the opponent all the time.” #afc


Arteta: “Sometimes it’s what you want to do as a coach & are allowed to do with the level of players & performance that top teams can do against you. [In those games] we had to defend deeper than we would like to, but we have to prepare for the games finding scenarios to win.”

Simeone: “Until October 4 we will not be calm, there are always possibilities for movement, options for someone to leave or others to arrive.”


Simeone: “We know what we need to do to complete our squad, and that will be the consequences of what happens”

Aubameyang: “Of course I am in favor of bringing Aouar [to Arsenal]. I will not hide it. He would add quality. Let’s see what happens. Even if he’s a OL player!”. ⚪️� #AFC #transfers @FabrizioRomano

tintedniggz:
But we could do a Holding, David and Gab at the back, what do you think?

Jodera:
Aside Torreira, is it that the other ones doesn't have any potential suitors ni?

They do have of course but their movement is dependent on the said suitors selling too to create vacancy for them.

And it's been bad news upon bad news now as Torino deal is off for Torreira just like Manchester City is trying to create one for sokratis now

Bad news for Arsenal and Sokratis below because he was due to join Napoli after the sale of koulibaly to Manchester City
