The 2021 EFL Cup Final was the final of the 2020–21 EFL Cup. It was played at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 25 April 2021, between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur,[3] having been originally scheduled to take place on 28 February 2021.[4] The EFL's desire for a greater number of fans to be able to attend the match was the primary reason for the change of date.[5] It was the 61st EFL Cup Final and the 14th to be played at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium.[6]
The match was the ninth Football League/EFL Cup final to be played by Tottenham, of which four have ended in victory. The four wins include the club's most recent trophy, claimed in 2008.
Manchester City appeared in their ninth Football League/EFL Cup final, and their fourth consecutive final, becoming only the second team to do so, after Liverpool between 1981 and 1984. City's win equalled Liverpool's records of eight EFL Cup wins and four consecutive wins. City's manager Pep Guardiola became the first coach to win the cup in four consecutive years (the first three of Liverpool's four consecutive titles were won by Bob Paisley, and the fourth by Joe Fagan).
The match was televised live by Sky Sports, while radio commentary was provided by BBC Radio and Talksport.
