Hull City vs Manchester United EFL CUP Thurs 26 Jan 19:45

jayo26

Manchester United have close to a full squad available for the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Hull on Thursday.

Manager Jose Mourinho has no fresh injury concerns and defender Marcos Rojo is also available again after missing the draw at Stoke at the weekend through illness.


Defender Eric Bailly will also rejoin the United squad in the coming days following Ivory Coast's elimination from the African Nations Cup.

Hull will be without departing winger Robert Snodgrass and defender Curtis Davies.

Snodgrass, for whom the Tigers have accepted a £10million bid from Burnley, is currently sidelined with a muscle strain, while centre-half Davies sustained a hamstring injury in Sunday's defeat at Chelsea.

The Tigers are hoping to receive international clearance in time for Liverpool loanee Lazar Markovic to make his debut, but Ryan Mason is recovering in hospital after fracturing his skull at Stamford Bridge.

Hull provisional squad: Jakupovic, Marshall, Elabdellaoui, Maguire, Dawson, Robertson, Evandro, Meyler, Huddlestone, Clucas, Hernandez, Diomande, Niasse, Maloney, Tymon, Bowen, Markovic.

United provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Fosu-Mensah, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Darmian, Shaw, Blind, Young, Fellaini, Carrick, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Ibrahimovic, Rooney.



No point doing possible lineups it would be a lottery....

Enjoy

No Phil again....
I am disappoint....

Gonna miss the start of this, have to go look at a new car. Bah, such timing.

Liam McPoyle

Hopefully a nice relaxed game with no injuries and a comfortable passage to the final.

Myself, this lad and the rest of the other fans (except Mick, he was an accomplished Tiddly Winks champion in school) need some of that sweet sweet glory to alleviate the sadness of the lives we lead.

I wouldnt mind a long ball off side goal by Fellaini to be honest.

Johner

It's a pity United got that second goal from a neutrals point of view. Should be a comfortable enough evening for them now.

Aye the second goal in these ties is massive. If we can score tonight then you'd have to imagine the chances of us conceding 3 are pretty tiny.

Should be a stroll to the final from here.

Score early then take the gas off, be grand. Hopefully a nice boring game, and quiet thread.

Just don't mention your OH or your holiday.

Jayop, you run the risk of getting called out for mentioning that new car. Best of luck with the purchase, best of luck with the insurance more like it. Eh, Rod? :pac:

Oh right, a football match. This United team are hopefully going to continue to grind out decent results amid a busy run. Jose said that he will be fielding his strongest team for this game. With that said, I don't see a goal-fest happening tonight, with only one team scoring. I'd like to think that will be United, but Hull will be looking to make the best of a bad season with this game and won't be easy to break down.

1-0 United.

Because, like him, we all only support United to add some accomplishment to our otherwise pathetic lives

Martial out of the squad again! Could be on his way in the summer if things don't turn around for him.

Jose wasn't fibbing, that is a strong line-up.

I don't think we've seen Rojo at LB for quite a few games, I could be wrong there. It will be interesting to see what he offers from an attacking point of view.

Jose has said that when Valencia plays RB, he prefers the rest of the backline to stay deep and Val to push forward. With him not playing tonight, I wonder what the plan of attack is for the fullbacks.

Two consecutive match-day squads which an uninjured Martial has been absent from, hmm...

I'd be gutted if that happens.

4.. away goals comes into it after extra time.. so if we score it's pretty much game over

Boards is fúcky on desktop for me. For instance, I can't see some posts, and the quote function isn't working. I tried to quote Unearthly's post about the glitch, but nothing. I blame Dustin.

Check out the Liverpool match thread from last night, one of there fans had his Rafael "facts" moment. Pretty good stuff to be fair

Mr.Crinklewood

Hope not.

Shaw back in the matchday squad.

Korat

Is that the Utd fans you can hear chanting?

Lovely Bloke

yep

GavRedKing

Hull fans have forgot what night the game is on by the looks of it.

PhlegmyMoses

It's galling to see Jones booked that early in the match for something Stoke players did with impunity last weekend. It's absolutely a yellow card but the inconsistency is maddening at this stage.

Haha, and then he doesn't ****ing book Meyer. Refs are mental.

Lovely Bloke

Good thread this, must not be many watching.

SteM

Paint drying.

LuckyGent88

This is brutal stuff.

wanderer100

That's horrific defending!!!

Lovely Bloke

no need for it to be anything else, United not needing to play any kind of risky game, kill it dead from the start.

Stroll to Wembley, keep the players fresh.

SteM

Away fans making their own entertainment ☺️

Polo_Mint

Its that same chant that's been sung for the past 30 min is doing my nut in

His own man took him out for christ sake.

Wtf Jon Moss

Never a peno!!!

Good acting and the Oscar goes to Hull.

LuckyGent88

Where to **** is the penalty there ffs??

Might wake us up a bit now. Have been atrocious so far

Liam McPoyle

Game on now.

We need to wake the fcuk up.

Hank Scorpio

Joke decision, he fell over his own player

fuzzydunlop85

Shocker from the ref.

SteM

Kopp wishes Moss was refereeing last night's match.

Korat

Utd have been getting screwed by refs all season, nothing new here. What a joke.
