EFL Review: Man United to face Southampton in the final

Man Utd returns to Wembley for the second successive year, and only Southampton stand in their way of English Football League Cup success after victories over Hull and Liverpool respectively.

Manchester United and Southampton will square off in a Wembley showpiece for the first time since 1976 as they brushed aside Hull and Liverpool, respectively, in their two-legged semi-finals.

United is the 10/11 favourite to win their second piece of silverware in consecutive years, but so were they back in 76 when the Second Division side pulled off one of the great FA Cup Final shocks thanks to a Bobby Stokes goal seven minutes from time.

Southampton is a stronger outfit these days, and had the most difficult semi-final tie between the two teams, but made it look the easiest. Claude Puel’s men faced a Liverpool side who are the Premier League top scorers with 51 goals, but they couldn’t find the net once in their two legs.
