EFL Cup

Manchester United and Aston Villa both get their 2022-23 EFL Cup campaigns underway this evening as they meet at Old Trafford.

Like the weekend, this is expected to be a fiercely contested battle between two strong teams. United are heading into the game with doubts still remaining over wingers Jadon Sancho and Antony, with the pair missing recent games due to illness and injury, respectively. We have only one aim: we have to win tomorrow, to go to the next round.” Erik ten Hag’s United saw their eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end at the weekend as they were beaten 3-1 by tonight’s opponents, Aston Villa. While Emery will be hoping that his team can pick up where they left off on Sunday afternoon. Villa took an early lead through winger Leon Bailey before they quickly doubled the lead through a fantastic free kick by Lucas Digne that had David de Gea all beaten.
