I thought I would start this thread a little earlier than the weekend. Discuss the final here...predictions, scorelines, team line-ups, goals and the rest!
Carling Cup Final 2011 preview to follow.
Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish has told his players to relish Sunday's Carling Cup final with Arsenal.
It has been 55 years since Blues
last contested a major cup final at Wembley - the 1956 FA Cup against Manchester City.
Birmingham reached this year's showpiece following a two-legged semi-final success over West Ham.
The Midlanders, who are also going strong in the FA Cup, have now been told to enjoy every moment of the showpiece event.
McLeish has experience of having a disappointing encounter against England at Hampden Park and does not want his players to suffer a similar fate.
However, the Scottish tactician believes he has enough talent and experience in his Blues squad to make the most of Sunday's final.
It will be McLeish's first major final south of the border after winning 19 trophies as a player and manager in Scotland.
