Marc Guehi is calling on Manchester City to channel the spirit of their Carabao Cup triumph as they prepare for a seismic Premier League clash with Arsenal this Sunday. The defender, who has quickly become a key figure since his January arrival, believes the blueprint for success against the Gunners already exists.

City's title charge gained serious momentum last week with a commanding 3-0 victory over Chelsea, a match where Guehi opened his Premier League account for the club. That result, coupled with Arsenal's surprise loss to Bournemouth, has slashed the gap at the top to just three points, setting the stage for a potential title-deciding showdown at the Etihad.

"In these moments, it’s about stepping up," Guehi told the Manchester Evening News. "It’s about arriving at the right moment." The £20 million signing from Crystal Palace has certainly done that, forming a formidable defensive partnership with Abdukodir Khusanov and cementing his place in Pep Guardiola's plans.

Sunday's match is a repeat of February's Carabao Cup final, which City won to claim the season's first piece of silverware. Now, with the Premier League trophy potentially on the line, the stakes are even higher. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, despite a recent stumble, remain the team to catch, and this head-to-head is widely seen as the pivotal moment in the title race.

Guehi's rapid integration and immediate impact symbolize City's relentless push. His first goal for the club last week was a testament to his growing influence. "A lot of us did that and there were good performances from the whole team," he said, reflecting on the Chelsea win. As City looks to complete a domestic double over their rivals, Guehi's message is clear: harness that cup-final mentality and seize the moment once again.
