Manchester United Lineup Confirmed for Carabao Cup Clash Against Spurs
Manchester United have confirmed their starting XI for tonight’s Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Spurs.
Manager Ruben Amorim has made five changes to the team that secured a dramatic 2-1 victory in the Manchester derby over the weekend.
Manchester United Starting Lineup vs Spurs
- Goalkeeper: Altay Bayindir
- Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Noussair Mazraoui
- Midfielders: Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes (c)
- Forwards: Antony, Rasmus Hojlund
Substitutes
Onana, Evans, Maguire, Malacia, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amad, Garnacho, Zirkzee.
Key Changes
Ruben Amorim has opted to shuffle his squad, with Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof stepping into the defensive line due to Matthijs de Ligt’s illness. Noussair Mazraoui returns to fitness and starts at right-back. Christian Eriksen faces his former club, while Antony is brought into the attack. Alejandro Garnacho is back on the bench, alongside Amad, who scored the match-winning goal in the derby.
Context and Build-Up
The Reds enter tonight’s game buoyed by their derby triumph against Manchester City, which showcased grit and determination. However, they face a formidable Tottenham side under Ange Postecoglou. Spurs have already beaten Coventry City and Manchester City in the competition, and their high-scoring Premier League form, including a 3-0 victory over United at Old Trafford in September, poses a significant challenge.
Recent League Cup Record
United boast an impressive away record in the Carabao Cup, winning their last six ties on the road with a dominant aggregate score of 14-1. Notably, the last time United faced Spurs in this competition was in the 2009/10 quarter-finals, when Darron Gibson’s brace secured a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. United went on to lift the trophy that year.
What’s at Stake?
A win tonight would secure Manchester United’s spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, joining Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle in the final four. With United seeking to defend their title, this match is crucial in maintaining momentum as they juggle domestic and European campaigns.
Kick-off is set for 20:00 GMT at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the iconic venue providing a stunning backdrop for this high-stakes encounter.
