The Jack Grealish trophy
Aston Villa v Manchester City (16:30 GMT)
Some breaking news. Some Villa fans have adapted the trophy and Jack Grealish now has his face on it.
In all seriousness, what an effort to haul this around with you on buses and tubes all day.

So welcome one and all to the Carabao Cup final, where Aston Villa start at 14-1 in a two horse race against Manchester City.
The bookies think it's over before it begins.
It's a cup final though my friends, where legends are made and giants are sometimes humbled.
So stay with us as we build up, cover and react to a Wembley showpiece.
A day with two caveats

So well done for making it. You get to walk Wembley Way, line up at the tube station, sing songs about the glory days and taunt your rival fans as they spend the day sweeping up in the back yard or clearing out the loft.
There is however a couple of caveats to this joyous day out.
You need to win. This after all is a place where losers don't get remembered.
And caveat number two is obvious. Don't ruin the day by buying a half-and-half scarf. You will, without question, look back on it with shame.

This is your day...
Aston Villa v Manchester City (16:30 GMT)
There are moments in a season where teams think they have other, more important objectives than domestic cup competitions.
There are moments where fans shrug at elimination.
But when all is said and done, the truth is all fans and true football folk want to be here, under this arch, in their colours, eating a pie, supping a pint and singing a song.
Shout out to the Manchester City massive. Props to the Villa crew. This is your day at Wembley.
