CARLING CUP PREVIEW

The betting superfacts for Derby/Manchester United

Derby/Man Utd, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 1, Best Odds, Free Bets

If Derby didn’t already have a tough enough task on their hands overcoming Manchester United over two legs, they have taken a risk by confirming the appointment of Nigel Clough the day before the home leg. This means that caretaker boss Chris Hutchings, who was hoping to get the job full-time, is out of the picture and someone new, academy boss David Lowe, has been forced to take charge of this game at incredibly short notice. Here are the key statistics about tonight’s Pride Park collision:

» While Derby have won on two of their last seven trips to Old Trafford, they have yet taken just a point from their four meetings with them at Pride Park.

» The Rams last home win over the reigning Premier League champions came twenty years ago in August 1989 in a season where Derby did the double over United.

Both sides defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home and beat Chelsea by a goal at Stamford Bridge but here’s why Arsenal will pull three points clear of their own mini-league this week, giving Chelsea the chance to reclaim the top spot that matters on Monday night:

1. Liverpool have won just one of their last four Premier League games and that was against struggling Blackburn, They have also been beaten on their last two trips to North London by Tottenham.

2. The league leaders have won just three of their last thirteen away games in the capital.
