They claim the first title of the year in England Manchester United and Newcastle (18:30, Action 24, sport-fm.gr) in his final League Cup at Wembley. It may be the least glamorous title on the Island, but both gladiators want it badly in order to end a years drought.
For the “red devils” it will be the first cup since 2017 (!), when they won the same trophy in the final with Southampton, while at the same time it will certify that they are gradually returning to the… regularity of championships and distinctions in Europe. United reach the final of the institution for the tenth time and claim the sixth title.
On the contrary, the “magpies” search their first major title in 54 years (!), in their first final appearance since 1999, when they lost to United in the Cup final. In their only appearance in a League Cup final, they lost 2-1 to Manchester City in 1976.
THE Eric Ten Haagwho saw his side beat Barcelona 2-1 on Thursday and continue their quest for ALL four titles of the year, is not counting on the injured Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial.
For the fifth time in the Premier League, Newcastle o Eddie Howe he faces a serious problem in the goalkeeping position. Nick Pope is suspended, while (on loan from Man. United) Martin Dubravka and Anthony Gordon are out. So the lot falls to… Loris Karius, who has not played for an English team since his tragic performance in the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev with Liverpool against Real.
Possible compositions:
Man. United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Anthony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford
Newcastle: Karius, Trippier, Ser, Botman, Byrne, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Zoelindon, Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.
