Manchester United will take on Middlesbrough in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup clash at Old Trafford on 28 October, Wednesday.

Where to watch

Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. The Capital One Cup fixture between United and Middlesbrough will not be telecast in the UK.

Overview

United come into this fixture after a disappointing goalless draw against Manchester City in the derby clash at Old Trafford. Second-half substitute Jesse Lingard and defender Chris Smalling came close to scoring for the hosts in the final quarter of the match.

Louis van Gaal has seen his side without a win in the last two matches as they settled for a draw in both these fixtures. He would be hoping his side can seal a victory over the Championship outfit during the Capital One Cup tie.

In the third round of the competition, United defeated Ipswich Town 3-0 at home, where Andreas Pereira was on the scoresheet as he scored from the free-kick. He is likely to start in the round of 16 clash on Wednesday.

Middlesbrough enter this fixture after their 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton in the Championship tie. They were without a win in the last three matches prior to that fixture and also failed to score in those fixtures.

Aitor Karanka has a tough task to score against a well-organised United side, who have conceded only two goals in all competitions at Old Trafford this season. A victory for either side will help them progress to the quarter final of the Capital One Cup.

What managers say

Louis van Gaal: "It is one of the top clubs in the Championship so it is not so easy. I am very happy with the result. I am happy we are playing at home. We are travelling a lot so it is good to stay at home."

Aitor Karanka: "In all my time here we haven't had a lot of injuries, but we have been missing Stuani and we now have Albert as well with his ankle. I don't know how he will be for Wednesday. Adam Forshaw has also picked up an injury as well. We will have to wait and see over the next few days."
