Manchester City youngster Nico O’Reilly has described Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Arsenal as a big game.
City, after being beaten in last season’s FA Cup final by Crystal Palace, is seeking to get back to winning ways at Wembley.
Recall that the Citizens have won eight of their nine EFL Cup finals, including the last seven in a row since the 1974 showpiece against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Guardiola could become the first coach to conquer the competition a staggering five times.

Speaking with the club’s website, O’Reilly stated that he expects a difficult challenge from Arsenal on Sunday.
“It’s a big game. We know how good they are. Obviously, they’re top of the league at the minute, so we know it’s going to be difficult. They’ve been very good this season, but we look forward to big games.
“It’ll be a tough game for them as well. I mean, we’re just going there to win. That’s the aim of it and we’ll see what happens after that. The big games, they’re the best games to be in and be part of.
“There’s pressure now on everything. On us, on them, on other teams. It’s a good situation to be in. For me, obviously last season we weren’t in the situation that we are now, so it’s new to me, but I’m really enjoying it.”
