MATCH PREVIEW
- It is 34 years since Manchester City last won a major trophy. Since winning
the 1976 League Cup final, City fans have had to stand by helplessly and
watch as their biggest rivals have won every piece of silverware going,
collecting an astonishing 25 major honours (11 Premier League titles, 8 FA
Cups, 2 European Cups, 1 Cup Winners' Cup, 3 League Cups).
- Thirteen City managers have tried and failed to match the exploits of Sir
Alex Ferguson since the Scot arrived at Old Trafford in 1986.
- Now it is the turn of Roberto Mancini. The former Inter Milan manager
certainly has the pedigree - in a seven-year spell managing in Serie A he
won three league titles and four Coppa Italias to add to the two Serie A
titles and six Italian Cups he won as a player.
- In Italy, Mancini was said to be "baciato dalla grazia" - kissed by fortune
- and a seemingly effortless start to life at Eastlands with four wins in
his first four games further sealed that reputation. But Saturday's defeat
at Everton provided a reminder that greater challenges await.
- Manchester United's season has been one of injuries, inconsistency and
financial instability. The champions returned to winning ways on Sunday with
a 3-0 victory over Burnley, but with seven defeats already this season and
the wounds of the FA Cup exit to Leeds still raw, the League Cup has taken
on greater significance and Ferguson is likely to field a stronger line-up
against City than might have been expected.
