Manchester Derby (LIVE UPDATES): Rivals fight for Carabao Cup final ticket

Manchester Derby (LIVE UPDATES): Rivals fight for Carabao Cup final ticket

byTunde Eludini

2 min read

Eternal rivals Manchester United and Manchester City are set for another titanic battle as they face off at Old Trafford in the first leg of their eagerly anticipated semi-final clash in the Carabao Cup tonight.

Both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Pep Guardiola have opted to use youth throughout this tournament, so it will be interesting to see if they would stick to their guns now that so much is at stake.

A comprehensive win for either side would see them effectively place one foot in the final, but with both sides facing hectic schedules many wonder if a place in the Cup final will be seen as a top priority.

Regardless of who will be out on the pitch, the Manchester derby is always a tasty, action-packed affair and tonight will be no different.

There have been seven League Cup meetings between these two sides before, and the honours are evenly matched at three wins apiece with one draw.

Stay with PREMIUM TIMES for live updates as we enjoy an old rivalry in a new decade

Kickoff is 9.00 p.m.

Man Utd XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Lindelof, Williams; Fred, Andreas; James, Lingard, Rashford; Greenwood
