Yahoo Sports Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: League Cup result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Manchester United take on Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup tonight.
The competition, also known as the League Cup or EFL Cup, is a knockout tournament involving the 92 teams of English football’s top-four tiers.
First held in 1960-61, the League Cup has always been in the shadow of the more historic and prestigious FA Cup but it remains a major piece of silverware, with a date at Wembley the reward for the two sides who come through the two-legged semi-finals.
Reigning champions Liverpool have won the most League Cups with nine, while Manchester City have won eight, with six of those coming since 2013. This year’s final will be played on Sunday 26 February.
