Kick-off : 7:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Man United riding high on the confidence with weekend win over Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup have got a tough game ahead.
They were poor in the first leg at home. It was a game which saw them eat three goals to their one scored.
Now to their rivals in the City of Manchester Stadium they need to bounce back. Away goals won’t count in the EFL Cup. So they need to score two times.
On their approach, Solskjaer need to play attacking brand of football and be miser at the back. With Rashford’s absence the struggles are immanent. They need to find a solution.
Man City, on the other hand have been winning games since defeating United at Old Trafford. They will make it simple.
Pep Guardiola is looking win trophies that he could and EFL Cup is one of their priorities.
With a 3-1 advantage he already is ahead and just need to play naturally and get another win and the job is done.
