Watch English Carling Cup (FINAL): Aston Villa vs ManChester United Live
Aston Villa face Manchester United in the 50th League Cup Final at Wembley. It seems fitting that the team from Birmingham should play in the milestone final after they appeared in the first ever final back in 1961, when they beat Rotherham United 3-2 over two legs, a feat they would love to repeat. Aston Villa have gone on to win the competition on four more occasions, the last of which came in 1996, when they beat Leeds United 3-0 at the old Wembley Stadium and Captain Stiliyan Petrov is calling on his team mates to make it count on Sunday:

"Manchester United will be tough but it is a one-off game and anything can happen.
"When you get to a final, anything is possible. Anybody can win.
"We've got that opportunity and when we go to play the final we should not just say 'we are there'.
"We should enjoy it and we are also going to go there to try and win it and try to make the most of it."

Manchester United are the current holders of the trophy after beating Tottenham Hotspur in a penalty shootout last season. It took their tally of wins to three, but if they are successful this weekend they will be only the third club to win consecutive finals after Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.Live TV Link-1"Wembley is a great place, it'll be a full stadium and it's always nice to play in a final," he told MUTV.
