Prediction: 3-2
Manchester United
There will be fireworks when Chelsea and Manchester United face each other in the Carabao Cup last 16. The Blues look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their eighth consecutive win in all competitions. Frank Lampard is doing a great job with Chelsea youngsters, and since his men are brimming with confidence ahead of Wednesday's showdown, we believe that home win should be considered.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, gave fans some cheer at the weekend, with the team beating Norwich City 3-1 on the road, but they are not enjoying a season to remember. The visitors head into the Carabao Cup clash with a severely-weakened squad, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Chelsea's party at Stamford Bridge. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Christian Pulisic, who scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Burnley at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (N Golo Kante):
Born in Paris in 1991, N’Golo Kante spent his early career playing for French minnows Boulogne and Caen, but he didn’t need a lot of time to catch the eye of high-profile clubs. The holding midfielder was on the verge of joining Marseille in the summer of 2015 when Leicester City submitted a £5.6 million for his services and he eventually signed for the King Power Stadium outfit.
Destiny appears to have played a part in the move as Kante would go on to become one of leading Premier League footballers in an unbelievable season that ended with the Foxes winning the Premiership trophy. Having deservedly been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, Kante would also receive the first ever call-up for the national team in March 2016, and he impressed in his first two appearances, scoring a goal in the 4-2 triumph over Russia.
A combative midfielder with an amazing pair of lungs, Kante impressed Premier League fans and pundits alike, and he will probably go down as one of the best holding midfielders to have ever played for an English club.
Highlighted Team (Manchester United):
Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles.
A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.
The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
