MANCHESTER UNITED – ASTON VILLA | Thursday 9pm
The third round of the League Cup closes with the last scheduled match between Manchester United and Aston Villa this evening, Thursday 10 November. Another big match in this event which, unlike the Coppa Italia in Italy, puts all possible and imaginable teams in front. And very often gives surprises to tell about. Well, Leicester and City – who eliminated Chelsea – made it through the round, but above all, there were some results that we can easily define as sensational: the victory of De Zerbi’s Brighton over Arsenal in an away match, for example, or the elimination of Tottenham at the hands of Nottingham. Compared to these matches, however, the one between the Red Devils and Emery’s team looks very balanced. Of course, there’s one line-up that’s a clear favourite and you’ll have realised that too.
United, who have started a real run-up in the league but obviously already appear to be out of the Premier League fight, are almost obliged to win and get through the round. Also because in February, when the Europa League returns, the Red Devils will have to face Barcelona and therefore the chances of elimination are there and they are also quite important. Obviously, even at the exclusion it seems very important to be able to go ahead in this event. Against a team, the visiting one, that if it has changed coach has given a signal that it is not doing well. In short, everything points to what could be a victory for the hosts. And this tonight should also be confirmed by the field.
