This is one of the most interesting games of this round of matches in the Carabao Cup. Jose Mourinho who managed the career of Frank Lampard when the midfielder turned out for Chelsea would be coming face to face with his former apprentice as he looks to show him that he remains the master.
This game is also quite unpredictable after Manchester United’s latest failure to win a home game having won three consecutive games.
The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw by Premier League new boys, Wolves at the weekend and that means they have won just one of three home games in the league so far. Jose Mourinho’s men have won just four of seven games this season, and they have been beaten by Brighton and Tottenham, the latter at Old Trafford.
Derby County, on the other hand, are enjoying a bright start to their season under rookie manager, Lampard. They fell to an early goal to in-form Brentford at the weekend, but they showed their character as they recovered well to score three goals in the first half and turn the game around despite none of the teams scoring in the second half.
The visitors have 5 wins from their last 7 games under Lampard. Away from home, they have also remained impressive after picking up 4 wins and two losses from six trips. Those results would give them the confidence that they can pull off an upset in this game as well.
