The players are at Wembley and the Carabao Cup is on the line - time to grab the Aston Villa vs. Man City live stream.

Manchester City fans probably won't see their team win the Premier League title this season, as they may not be able to overcome Liverpool's commanding lead. But City can still win three other trophies this year. And they will get their first chance today in the Carabao Cup final.

Standing in the way of City's third straight Carabao Cup title is Aston Villa. They are just one point away from the relegation zone after this weekend's games, but they are still going strong in the Carabao Cup with a thrilling semifinal win over Leicester City.
