Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi says they're ready to battle today against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

Mustafi is certain Arsenal can beat Pep Guardiola's free-scoring side - as long as they stick to the gameplan.

"It will be a very tactical game because they are well organised and dangerous up front," he told arsenal.com. "They have shown their quality all season in the Premier League.

"We need to make sure that we are compact, organised and concentrated for 90 minutes, and extra time if required. We have to play our own game when we get the ball and play as quickly as we can to find opportunity to break them down.

"Finals are always exciting and tense games. We hope that we will be the better team but we will see on the day. It's all on the day. We had a good result against them last season in the FA Cup semi-final. We just need to show that level of performance again."
