MATCH PREVIEW
- Manchester City's ambition is to be "the biggest and best football club in
the world", according to executive chairman Garry Cook; a Carling Cup final
appearance at the expense of their fiercest rivals would do the club's fans
for now.
- There have been many false dawns for City's long-suffering supporters, but
last week's semi-final first-leg win over their Manchester neighbours
brought the possibility of a first major Wembley final in 29 years a step
closer to reality.
- The omens for City look good: they beat United en route to their two previous
League Cup triumphs (1970 and 1976), while this year's final on 28 February
comes exactly 34 years to the day since City won their last trophy -
coincidentally in the League Cup.
- City boss Roberto Mancini has promised to banish a banner at Old Trafford
mocking the Eastlands club's trophy drought, and the rivalry has been further
intensified by Carlos Tevez's starring role in the first leg and his
subsequent criticism of ex-United team-mate Gary Neville. The Football
Association and Greater Manchester Police have urged both sets of supporters
to show restraint in what is sure to be a highly-charged atmosphere.
- Despite United's first-leg defeat, Sir Alex Ferguson need look no further
than last season's Carling Cup semi-finals for inspiration - the Red Devils
lost the opening leg 1-0 at Derby before booking their ticket to Wembley with
a 4-2 win at Old Trafford.
