The Saints may well be marching in but it will be Manchester United arriving at Wembley with a swagger for Sunday’s League Cup final.
Jose Mourinho’s men head for the national stadium as strong favourites – 4/5 to win in 90 minutes and 2/5 to lift the trophy – with Southampton 22/5 and 2/1.
Mourinho loves this tournament almost as much as he enjoys a rant, he’s been in three finals, won every one and will draw level with Brian Clough and Sir Alex Ferguson if he claims a fourth on Sunday. Good company indeed.
This week he’s been having a moan about the fixture pile-up but the games come thick and fast if you’re chasing three pots.
