Manchester City take on Arsenal in the 2018 League Cup (Carabao Cup) Final on Sunday, 25 February, 2018.
This will the first titular contest of the season. Manchester City are the favourites for the tie, however Arsenal have the capacity to surprise everyone on their day.
Last season they finished fifth and Arsene Wenger’s side are currently being left behind in sixth spot as they prepare to face runaway Premier League leaders City at Wembley.
The Indian fans are all geared up for the contest and everyone had one question to ask- where to watch Arsenal v/s Manchester City on TV in India? However, many were surprised by the answer. It turns out that MTV and Vh1 will telecast the match. The match will also be live streamed on JioTV. The live coverage of the match will start at 10 pm.
Both channels are known as music channels and thus, some eyebrows were raised when it was discovered that the EFL Cup final will be telecast here.
Fans on Twitter were busy informing each other as well as making some wisecrack about it. Here are some the best tweets about Arsenal v/s Manchester City Cup final broadcast:

They used to always show the league cup even the rounds but this year very weird. I only found out from google this morning. But Mtv and its on VH1. Hopefully they dont screw it up by putting a music video on.

I am shocked that it’s not on the main sports channels, especially when it could be a classic
