The 2009 Carling Cup or Football League Cup Final is upon us as Tottenham Hotspur get ready to take on the mighty Manchester United. Spurs will be looking to defend the title that they obtained in 2008. The Red Devils last won the League Cup in 2006.
Tottenham Hotspur have made it to the final on the strength of some impressive attacking displays. In fact, they have scored at least 2 goals in each of the 5 matches they have played in the tournament. The road to Wembley has featured wins over Newcastle United, Liverpool and a penalty kick win over Burnley in the semi-final.Roman Pavlyuchenko has been their top scorer with 6 goals but their impressive Cup form will be put to the test by the superb defending of United.
The side managed by Sir Alex Ferguson have been in outstanding form of late. They recently went through a stretch of 14 consecutive Premier League matches without conceding a goal. Manchester United are coming off of a very good performance away to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League as they more than held their own in a 0-0 draw. The club has been paced by Argentine striker Carlos Tevez who has 6 goals scored so far in the Carling Cup.
