Manchester City have edge over Arsenal ahead of Carabao Cup final according to Kolo Toure
Friday 23 February 2018 11:32, UK
Kolo Toure believes Manchester City’s ‘amazing’ brand of football will see them beat Arsenal in this weekend’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
City and Arsenal - two of Toure's former clubs - head into the first major cup final of the season, live on Sky Sports Football, off the back of surprise defeats in midweek.
Pep Guardiola's side were knocked out of the FA Cup at League One Wigan, while Arsenal reached the Europa League last 16 after a 4-2 aggregate win over Ostersunds despite a 2-1 second leg loss at home to the Swedish minnows on Thursday night.

The League Cup is the only domestic trophy to have eluded Arsene Wenger during his reign as Arsenal manager, and Toure believes expects the club's 25-year League Cup drought to continue.
"Both teams play great football," Toure told Sky Sports News.
