Prediction: 3-1
Charlton
A place in the EFL Cup semis will be at stake when Manchester United and Charlton face each other at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening. The Red Devils are eyeing their eighth consecutive win in all competitions, and the bookies see them as hot favourites to make it to the EFL Cup semis. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be in-form attacker Marcus Rashford, who sealed the FA Cup triumph over Everton, while Bruno Fernandes is banned for the match. Donny van de Beek is a major doubt, with both Jadon Sancho and Axel Tuanzebe missing out with injuries.
The Red Robins set up a meeting with Man Utd by shocking Brighton in the quarter-finals, but it has to be noted that the Seagulls failed to turn their dominance into goals. Given Man Utd’s splendid form, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Sean Clare is back from suspension, while all Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Diallang Jaiyesimi, and Mandela Egbo are sidelined with injuries. Chuks Aneke will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Rashford):
Marcus Rashford is one of the most talented English footballers. Rashford was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on October 31, 1997 and he began his youth career at Fletcher Moss Rangers. Manchester United scouts spotted him in 2005 when he joined the famous Premier League club.
The pacey footballer, who is capable of playing as both winger and striker, marked his Manchester United first-team debut with two goals in a 5-1 crushing of Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Marcus Rashford scored seven goals in 35 appearances for the Red Devils in the 2017/2018 Premier League season. Speaking of his international debut, the Manchester United attacker played his first match for England against Australia on May 27, 2016 and he did well to find the net in a 2-1 win over the Socceroos.
After producing fine displays with Manchester United in the 2017/2018 season, Marcus Rashford was named in the 23-man England national team squad that will take part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Highlighted Team (Charlton):
Charlton Athletic are yet another capital club that will compete in the 2019/2020 Championship season. Founded back in 1905, the Red Robins welcome their opponents at the Valley, the stadium which can hold up to 28,111 spectators. Charlton Athletic wear red shirts and white shorts when playing on home soil, whereas black is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Winning of the 1946/1947 FA Cup trophy is considered the club’s biggest success. The Red Robins defeated Burnley 1-0 in the title game, with Chris Duffy scoring the winner for Jimmy Seed’s charges in extra-time.
Fellow capital clubs Crystal Palace and Millwall are regarded as Charlton’s fiercest rivals, whilst Samuel Bartram, who made 579 appearances for the club is one of the most famous footballers who played for the Valley outfit. The club based in London will compete in the English second tier in the 2019/2020 season following a three-year absence.
