some more football tonight, manchester united face hull. they knocked them out of the league cup. o the premier league this evening and hull are bottom of the table and united are bottom of the table and united are trying to stay in touch with the top four. it is a game that manchester united should win and they need to win. there is an opportunity for them to close the gap on the top four with liverpool arsenal and spurs all dropping points last night. the current form of manchester united is excellent. as for hull, they have improved under marco silva, but away from home they have lost nine in a row and results elsewhere last night mean they are five points adrift of safety a nd mean they are five points adrift of safety and they have not won here since 1952. west ham are expected to give debuts to their new signings jose fonte eight and robert snodgrass. their manager had a few words of sympathy for pep guardiola after winning their first ten matches in all competitions, manchester city are fifth in the table, 13 points behind chelsea. this is a very difficult league, extremely

southampton were in the second division and manchester united in the top—flight., and thejose mourinho, this is a huge day, in his first season as united manager, could he become the first united manager ever to win a major trophy in his first season in charge? this is what he had to say. it would be good for the group. it would be good for the club and it would be good for the club and it would be good for me, obviously. but you know, at the beginning of my career, i was looking more to myself and to my personal achievements, if you can say that. i am in a period where i am more and more a club man. for manchester united, this is fairly familiar territory. how many cup finals have they been in? not so, southampton. this is a really special day for them. six years ago, they were in the third division of english football but they have rebuilt that, after administration, building their way up for the last seven seasons, always finishing better despite selling so many players and losing managers. now they have a big day out. their last visit to wembley was 2010, thej
