The Carabao Cup final action is now underway on TV channels around the world and a third triumph in-a-row seems to be on the cards for Pep Guardiola's men today. Could Wembley witness an upset for the ages? Read on for our comprehensive Aston Villa vs Man City live stream guide and find out how to watch the Carabo Cup final 2020 wherever you are.
The omens certainly don't seem good for relegation-threatened Villa, who have lost their last three Premier League matches in the run-up to this showdown in London. Their chances look even bleaker when factoring in how much of a boost Manchester City will have following their superb 2-1 win against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. Plus, City thrashed Villa 6-1 back in January, so the Birmingham side will have to be at their best to stand a chance against the star-studded Sky Blues.
Known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons, or the EFL Cup to purists, the final of the 2020 competition takes places under the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium today. The match starts at 4.30pm GMT in the UK. That's 11.30am ET or 8.30am PT in the US, and 3.30am AEDT in Australia on Monday morning.
Villa were disappointing to say the least in their crucial last Premier League outing against Southampton. As a result, Villa boss Dean Smith has rung the changes today, with a number of players dropped - including experienced keeper Pepe Reina, who starts on the bench with Norwegian youngster Ørjan Nyland preferred.
Manchester City go into the match as clear favourites to pick up their first silverware of the season, and will be keen to not be complacent and lose focus following their huge victory in Spain.
With Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling fit and ready to start, the only negative for City coming into the game is the injury sustained by defender Aymeric Laporte in Madrid which will rule him out of Sunday's final.
