Arsenal and Manchester City clash in Sunday's League Cup Final, with either Alex Iwobi or Yaya Toure set to end the day with a winner's medal.
For Iwobi, victory would mean a fourth honour of his Gunners career, following a pair of Community Shield successes and an FA Cup winner's medal last year. Should he be on the winning side on Sunday, he'd be the fourth Nigerian to win England's secondary cup competition.
Mohamed Elneny may also be involved in Sunday's clash, although after an underwhelming showing against Ostersunds in midweek, perhaps the best he can hope for is a spot on the Arsenal bench. Although Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would become Gabon's first winner if he can fire the Londoners to the cup.
Toure, by contrast, is one of the most decorated African players in the history of English football, and as he winds down his City career - likely with a Premier League winner's medal at the end of it - a Wembley triumph would be yet another accolade in his trophy-laden spell in Manchester.
As well as Premier League titles in 2012 and 2014, and an FA Cup in 2011, Yaya has already won two League Cups, having featured in both of City's recent successes - in 2014 and in 2016.
He netted two goals en route to the final in 2014, and also prompted the turnaround against Sunderland when he cancelled out Fabio Borini's opener with a 55th-minute effort from range before City ran out 3-1 winners.
Two years ago, he netted the decisive penalty as City beat Liverpool 3-1 on penalties following a 1-1 draw, although he's likely to be used in a back-up role on Sunday.
Including Yaya's two victories, an Ivorian player has been on the winning side in seven League Cup finals, making the West African nation the most successful - by some distance - in the tournament's history.
Eric Bailly is the most recent winner, when he won the second of three honours during his maiden season at Manchester United when they defeated Southampton a year ago.
Didier Zokora endured contrasting fortunes in back-to-back finals; playing his part in Tottenham Hotspur's memorable extra-time victory over Chelsea in 2008 before being on the losing side as Spurs were beaten by United a year later.
The 2009 Tottenham squad also contained Morocco's Adel Taarabt and Benoit Assou-Ekotto of Cameroon.
Five African players were involved in the 2008 final, and while the Chelsea quartet of Salomon Kalou, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel were defeated on that occasion, they more than made up for it with a host of honours during their time at Stamford Bridge.
Drogba was the only one of the four who was present in 2005, when he netted in extra time of Chelsea's 3-2 victory over Liverpool during a pulsating clash between these two old rivals.
That was the first of the Ivorian forward's many decisive final goals for the Blues, with the hitman winning 10 finals with the Pensioners, including the 2015 League Cup as Chelsea took some final revenge on Spurs.
By the time their 2007 final against Arsenal rolled around, Essien, Mikel and Kalou had been added to Jose Mourinho's magnificent squad, although Chelsea didn't have it all their own way as Arsenal held on for over an hour after Drogba had cancelled out Theo Walcott's opener.
The Drog - enjoying his best campaign in England to that point - would settle the contest in the 84th minute as he met an Arjen Robben cross to plant a fine header past Manuel Almunia.
The match would be marred, however, by a late fracas after a coming together between Mikel and Kolo Toure. Both of the duo - as well as a furious Emmanuel Adebayor - were sent off at the death.
Adebayor never got another shot at the League Cup, and while Kolo did - with Liverpool in 2016 - he remains one of two African players - the other being Emmanuel Eboue - to have lost two finals in the competition.
Even without the duo, six different Ivorian players have won the cup, with Wilfried Bony also on the winning side in 2016.
Drogba, with three wins, is the joint-most successful African player in the tournament's history, tying Liverpool's Bruce Grobbelaar.
As well as six league championships, three FA Cups, and the European Cup in 1984, Grobbelaar completed a hat-trick of consecutive League Cup triumphs in the early 1980s, although he was also a defeated finalist in 1987.
An Iwobi victory would see him following in the footsteps of compatriots Kelechi Iheanacho and the aforementioned Mikel, although Nigeria's most memorable contribution to a League Cup final came in 2011.
On that occasion, an Arsenal team containing Eboue, Alex Song and Marouane Chamakh appeared overwhelming favourites to see off Birmingham City, only for substitute Obafemi Martins to net an 89th-minute winner following a defensive mix-up between Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny.
It remains one of the unforgettable moments in League Cup final history.
Beyond Toure, Drogba and Martins, the other African player to make a goalscoring contribution to a League Cup Final is Middlesbrough's Joseph-Desire Job, cousin of Liverpool's Joel Matip.
Less heralded than the other players on this list, the Cameroon international spent the best part of six years in Boro, and while he didn't set the world alight on Teeside, he did open the scoring after just two minutes of the Smoggies' 2-1 victory over Jay-Jay Okocha's Bolton Wanderers in the 2004 League Cup Final.
Job's time at Middlesbrough may have been undermined by injury and profligacy, but his strike against Bolton was immortalised by the group Los Campesinos in their sublime 2013 single 'What Death Leaves Behind'.
The other two African nations to have produced winners are Mali and Senegal.
For the former, Djimi Traore was part of the Liverpool team that beat Manchester United in 2003, although he also tasted defeat when Rafael Benitez's Reds were defeated by Mourinho's Chelsea two years later.
Senegal has produced two winners, with El Hadji Diouf a teammate of Traore in 2003, and Mame Biram Diouf clinching the cup in 2012 when the Red Devils downed Aston Villa 2-1.
