Who is playing: Manchester United play Northampton Town in the League cup after a series of disappointing results that have seen the former lose their last three consecutive matches. Jose Mourinho’s men will be hoping to redeem themselves by beating the League One outfit away from home ahead of their Premier League clash with defending champions Leicester City next weekend. On the other hand, Northampton are willing to write yet another interesting underdog story just like Dutch side Feyenoord did when they faced Man Utd last Thursday in the Europa League and emerged 1-0 winners.
