Carabao Cup Favourites

Manchester City have a superb record in the Carabao Cup in recent seasons. Much of that was due to Pep Guardiola’s insatiable appetite for success, but they also won the trophy under Manuel Pellegrini in 2024, their first of seven in the timeframe since.

They defeated 2026 Premier League champions Arsenal in the final last season. Mikel Arteta’s men put in a timid performance at Wembley, but now have that winning feeling from the league campaign. Liverpool and Manchester United have also won this trophy in the past five seasons, with each club’s history speaking for itself.

Carabao Cup Outsiders & Dark Horses

Chelsea and Newcastle have poor cup final records in all, but both sides have won this competition since 2015. They may both be below the highest echelon in terms of the Premier League this season, but each is capable of mixing it with the best. Similarly, Swansea’s victory in the 2013 League Cup, defeating fourth tier Bradford City in the final, shows that anything is possible in cup competitions.
