Who's playing: Manchester United play Southampton in the final of the League Cup. The red devils come into this match enjoying a recent run of good results - they have won their last five games in all competitions. They are still actively involved in the FA Cup and Europa League, something that Jose Mourinho has previously mentioned to explain how disadvantaged his men are ahead of this tie in terms of little resting time after matches. The Saints, on the other hand, have had two weeks to prepare for this final and finally found their winning groove back when they beat Sunderland 4-0 in their last Premier League game. Prior to that, they had lost three consecutive games. The stage is set for an exciting League Cup final clash and here's all you need to know about this match in advance.

Match forecast
The red devils last won the league cup in 2010, and five times in their history. Their 2-1 win over Aston Villa in 2010 made the Old Trafford outfit the first team defend the cup effectively since 1990. Southampton on the other hand lost 3-2 to Nottingham Forest in their first ever appearance in the final in 1979.
The last time these two sides met, Zlatan scored a brace on his Old Trafford debut as Man Utd won 2-0. Prior to that meeting, the reds had won 3-2 at St. Mary's in 2015/16 and then at Old Trafford, Charlie Austin scored a header to give the Saints all the three points.
The Mourinho factor is expected to come into play in this match. The Portuguese manager has won the league cup at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and at Man Utd, he is hoping to extend with his good luck. Will Southampton finally earn their first ever League Cup title or will history favour Mourinho?
