Arsenal vs Manchester City: Arsenal will match-up with Manchester City in the Barclays Carling Cup Quarter-final. Arsenal and Manchester City live match will kick-off at 20:00 GMT at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011, English Carling Cup, Football.

Roberto Mancini and Arsene Wenger set to ring changes in League Cup, after weekend draws. Though Man. City can sustain to have picked up a tricky point away at Anfield stadium, it is still a case of two dropped points, whereas Arsenal knows that is the case with their home ground draw against Fulham on Saturday.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that, he will give some of his extreme players a chance to strike in their Carling Cup quarter-final against Manchester City at Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger is expected to revert to his normal policy, where the League Cup is concerned and select the best of the academy crop, with players such as Ignasi Miquel and Francis Coquelin likely to aspect.

Gunner’s boss will need no reminder of his team’s terrible collapse in last season’s Carling Cup final over Birmingham City, when they gave up an early lead and finally lost to the Blues in a game that they really should have won.

On the other hand, Manchester City have taken an average of 2.66 points per game over opponents in the top half of the English Premier League table compared to Arsenal’s 1.16 points. For Roberto Mancini, it will possibly be a more straight forward role of rotation to ensure all of his players are ready for it and when they are needed in the title run.

They are no aliens to cup success as well, having won last season’s FA Cup, and will be looking to knock over the team they beat with 3-0 score, when they last played in the same competition in year 2009.

Probable Line-Ups:

Arsenal: Abianski, Djourou, Squillaci, Miquel, Yennaris, Coquelin, Benayoun, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Park and Arshavin.

Manchester City: Antilimon, Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Savic, Kolarov, De Jong, Razak, Yaya Toure, Johnson, Dzeko and Nasri.
