The final of the League Cup - which is now named the EFL Cup.
Venue: Wembley stadium
Time: 5:30pm
Referee: Andre Marriner (England)

The Red Devils meet the Saints for the chance to win the first silverware of the season.
Today's game will be Southampton's first trip to Wembley since winning the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final against Carlisle in 2010.

The Saints, who lost their previous League Cup final - against Nottingham Forest in 1979, beat United for their only major trophy, the 1976 FA Cup.

TEAM INFORMATION
United attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will miss the game after injuring a hamstring during Wednesday's 1-0 Europa League win at Saint-Etienne.
Midfielder Michael Carrick is fit despite injuring a calf in France, while a late decision will be made on defender Phil Jones, who has a foot problem.

Southampton hope playmaker Sofiane Boufal will return from an ankle injury.

Charlie Austin, Virgil van Dijk, Jeremy Pied, Matt Targett and Alex McCarthy all have long-term injuries.

Head-to-head
Manchester united : W11D3L1
Southampton:W6D2L7

This is the second time these sides have met in the final of a competition, having played each other in the 1976 FA Cup final. Southampton, then a second-tier side, defeated United 1-0 thanks to a Bobby Stokes goal. It remains the only time they have won a major English trophy.
Southampton will be the third team United have played in both an FA Cup and League Cup final, following Aston Villa and Liverpool.
Manchester United

This will be United's ninth League Cup final appearance. They have won four and lost four, but three of those victories have been in their past three finals (2006 v Wigan, 2009 v Spurs and 2010 v Aston Villa).
Only Liverpool (12) have appeared in more League Cup finals than United (nine) and only Arsenal (five) have lost more finals than the Red Devils.
Jose Mourinho has reached the League Cup final three times previously (as Chelsea manager in 2005, 2007 and 2015), winning the trophy each time. He has the best win percentage for a manager in League Cup finals.
Only Brian Clough (four) and Sir Alex Ferguson (four) have won the League Cup more times than Jose Mourinho (three).
Mourinho has never lost an English domestic cup final in his career, also winning the FA Cup in 2007.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored four goals in the four domestic cup finals he played for Paris St-Germain (excluding Super Cups), netting a brace in the 2015 Coupe de la Ligue final against Bastia, and another brace in the 2016 Coupe de France final against Marseille

Southampton

Southampton are just the second side in League Cup history to reach the final without conceding a goal - Tottenham Hotspur managed this feat in 1981-82, but lost the final 3-1 to Liverpool.
Claude Puel has only reached a major domestic cup final once before in his managerial career, taking Monaco to the final of the French League Cup in 2001, where they lost 2-1 in extra-time to Lyon.
