"Pep Guardiola has a two-match ban after a sixth yellow card of the season - BUT it does not apply to the Carabao Cup final. So he will miss the PL game at West Ham and the FA Cup quarter-final against whoever Manchester City play."
"The two sides have undoubtedly been the best teams in the country this season, and they are still fighting for the Premier League title. Arsenal and Manchester City face each other in the league in April as well, but before that, they will meet in the Carabao Cup final, where the winner could gain a psychological advantage in the title race."
Pep Guardiola received his sixth yellow card of the season during Manchester City's match against Newcastle United, resulting in a two-game suspension. Arsenal fans questioned whether this ban would prevent him from managing City in the upcoming Carabao Cup final at Wembley. However, suspension rules for domestic competitions do not extend to the Carabao Cup, allowing Guardiola to remain on the touchline during the final. His ban applies only to Premier League and FA Cup matches, specifically the West Ham league game and the FA Cup quarter-final. This means Guardiola will be present to manage Manchester City against Arsenal in what promises to be a significant fixture between the season's top two teams.
