Premier League title 'will be decided at Carabao Cup final'

Whoever wins the Carabao Cup final will also "go on and win the Premier League", says former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison.
Before they beat Tottenham on Sunday, Arsenal's lead in the league had been cut to two points by Manchester City.
The two sides will also be battling it out for the first trophy of the season in less than a month's time when they meet at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final on 22 March.
That is a match Morrison believes could have a decisive say in the Premier League title race.
"Arsenal are making defensive mistakes. You saw it against Wolves with Gabriel and [David] Raya. Raya didn't need to come for it. Gabriel is going to deal with it and then they scored the equaliser. [On Sunday], I think against a better team, they will get punished," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"Tottenham are not a good team at the moment with all the injuries they've got. They aren't good enough to go toe-to-toe with Arsenal. So that was always going to be a struggle, but against the better teams they'll get punished with the mistakes they're making.
"I still think this is going to go down to the wire. I think this will be decided at the Carabao Cup final. Whoever wins that will go on and win the Premier League, because if they don't get over the line, Arsenal, in that game, then City play them two games later, and if City take the lead they will be celebrating again.
"If Manchester City take the lead, they're not getting caught, that's my opinion."
