Hello, and welcome to Nigerianeye's live coverage of the EFL Cup final between Southampton and Manchester United.
Jose Mourinho claims that he has already won a trophy with United after claiming the Community Shield but in many people's eyes, this is his opportunity to break his duck at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese has already won three League Cups as manager of Chelsea but while his team are favourites to win at Wembley Stadium, they face a Southampton team who are yet to concede a goal in this year's competition.
The Saints have beaten the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool in order to reach the final, and Claude Puel will back his side to complete the job on Sunday afternoon.
OFFICIAL LINE-UPS
MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Rojo, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Ibrahimovic
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTES: Romero, Blind, Young, Carrick, Fellaini, Rooney, Rashford
SOUTHAMPTON: Forster, Soares, Yoshida, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Redmond, Gabbiadini
SOUTHAMPTON SUBSTITUTES: Hassen, Long, Rodriguez, Caceres, Boufal, Hojbjerg, McQueen
4 min SHOT! Southampton can't afford to gift Pogba this kind of shooting opportunity. Ibrahimovic tees up the Frenchman to get an effort on goal from 25 yards but his well-struck attempt is straight at Forster.
1 min Southampton get us underway.
