The Tottenham Hotspur is the team that currently holds the title for the Carling Cup championship and, on Sunday, they will have to face the Manchester United who is standing in their way of winning a second title in a row.
The 2009 Football League Cup Final will take place on March first at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Carling Cup is now in its 49th season with 92 teams coming from the Football League (England, Wales) and the Premier League (England)
The last time that the Manchester United came up with victory at the Carling Cup was in 2006 and, lately, they seem to be in a good position to relive that moment.
In contrast with the recent success of Manchester, the Spurs, whom haven’t performed very well lately, have to carry with them the mental struggle of facing one of the most powerful teams on earth in order to keep the title at home.This could prove to haunt them on Sunday when the moment of truth arrives.
Last year, the Tottenham Hotspur beat the Chelsea in order to win the championship, but the team of the ‘blues’ at that time was not so strong. Now the story is totally different, as they are facing the Manchester United, the team that obtained the Carling Cup with a 4-0 victory over the less-notable Wigan Athletic.
Apparently, Alex Ferguson is going to allow some rookie players to compete in a finals’ game, drastically different from the Spurs who are going to play with their best men.
Honestly, I believe that the Tottenham Hotspur don’t have much of a chance of beating the Manchester United, though Ferguson’s usage of rookies is something that could favor the Spurs.
