Nottingham Forest

Today the former owners of the English League Cup will meet. Nottingham Forest started the tournament as a four-time tournament winner. It's worth noting that the Foresters haven't won a top-flight tournament since Brian Clough's golden era, when they took home the EFL Cup twice in a row.

The current mentor will try to set up his wards for the duel as much as possible, which, in his opinion, “will give our older generation a chance to remember and our younger generation a chance to enter new territory. It will always be important to me". That's what Steve Cooper said.

In 20 rounds of the current season of the Premier League, the "clever trees" have chalked up five wins and six peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 21 points and 13th position in the standings. The Reds drew 1:1 against Bournemouth last weekend.

Yates, Richards, Niahate, Kuyate, Henderson, Biancone and Avone, who is not yet in the best shape, will not be able to play today.

Newcastle United

Since last winning the EFL Cup in 2016/17, Manchester United have been knocked out twice in the semi-finals of five failed attempts to reach the final, although both times against archrivals Manchester City. Today's guests still have every chance to compete for another trophy, given that even a defeat in the last round from Arsenal in the 90th minute leaves the team with a chance for overall success in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag has some problems, the main of which is to prevent fatigue, because the team is likely to have complete burnout. This fight is the ninth in a series of 18 games between Christmas and the end of winter. For 20 rounds the guests recorded 12 victories and three peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 39 points and the fourth position in the standings. Also, it should be noted 35 goals scored by the Red Devils.

Today Dalot, Van de Beek, Tuanbeze, Sancho, Greenwood and Dalot, who has a hip injury, will not be able to take part in the fight.
