TEAM NEWS
Michael Owen is expected to start for Manchester United following his
dramatic winner in Sunday's derby.
Sir Alex Ferguson will make several changes, with Tomasz Kuszczak and Wes
Brown among those likely to play.
Wolves could hand starts to winger Michael Kightly and striker Sylvan
Ebanks-Blake, who both made their comebacks from injury on Sunday.
Stefan Maierhofer could also make his full debut. He has scored one goal in
two substitute appearances.
MATCH PREVIEW
- Manchester United have reason to be wary as they begin their defence of the
Carling Cup. Despite winning the competition for the third time last season
they have proved vulnerable in the third round, losing at this stage in ten
of the last 25 years.
- Not that United will be lacking in belief, whatever side they select. Their
stoppage-time victory over cross-city rivals Manchester City on Sunday was
their fifth in a row.
- Wolves have only progressed beyond this round once in the last 12 years,
despite not having faced a Premier League side since losing 5-1 at Arsenal
six years ago.
- Wolves also have a dreadful record at Old Trafford, and only reached this
round with a penalty shootout win at home to Swindon. However, Saturday's
victory over Fulham ended a three-match winless streak and saw the return
of key players Michael Kightly and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
‧ This is the first League Cup meeting of these two clubs. Manchester United
won their most recent clash by 3-0 in the FA Cup fourth round in January
2006.
‧ Wolves last won - and scored - at Old Trafford in a top-flight game in
February 1980.
Manchester United
‧ United have won their last five games in all competitions, and hold a 100%
winning record in three matches at Old Trafford this season.
‧ They have not been knocked out by a Premier League club since Chelsea won
their semi-final tie in 2005.
‧ Ryan Giggs is still looking for his 150th Manchester United goal, John
O'Shea could make his 350th appearance for the club and Darron Gibson
could face the club with whom he was on loan for most of 2007/08.
Wolves
‧ Wolves won the League Cup in 1974 and 1980 but since playing in the
quarter-finals in 1996 they have only reached the fourth round once
(2003/04).
‧ It is 14 years since Wolves last eliminated a Premier League club;
Coventry in the fourth round in November 1995.
‧ Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and David Jones were both Manchester United trainees.
