The Premier League duo have each endured woeful domestic campaigns, languishing 16th and 17th and respectively.
Tonight’s match offers a huge shot of redemption, with either Bruno Fernandes or Son Heung-min set to lift the famous trophy.
The Red Devils are hoping to add extra silverware to their bustling cabinet, having won the FA Cup last season.

Spurs, meanwhile, are aiming to end their painful 17-year drought – with Son particularly desperate to mark 10 years in North London with the first trophy of his club career.
Ahead of the game, boffins and brainiacs over at AceOdds have built a supercomputer to crunch the numbers and determine the most likely outcome.
The egghead formula has simulated the outcome 1,000 times.
And it has worked out that Spurs are most likely to run out 2-1 winners.
Such an outcome would see Ange Postecoglou‘s second season prophecy come true.

The Aussie vowed last September: “I’ll correct myself – I don’t usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing’s changed.
“I’ve said it now. I don’t say things unless I believe them.”
Tottenham’s last trophy was the 2008 League Cup, with Jonathan Woodgate’s extra time header seeing off Chelsea at Wembley.
Under several different managers they have since lost four cup finals without scoring a goal.
Their most recent final came in 2021, when they lost 1-0 to Manchester City in the League Cup under Ryan Mason.
Tottenham have won all three of their meetings with Man Utd this season.
The North Londoners won 3-0 against Erik ten Hag‘s beleaguered side last September at Old Trafford.
Spurs followed that up with a dramatic 4-3 League Cup triumph in December, in which Son scored an “Olimpico” – a goal straight from a corner.
The Lilywhites most recently beat United 1-0 in a low-key league affair in February.
Opta’s supercomputer has struggled to split the two sides.
They have made Spurs very slight favourites, giving them a 50.3 per cent chance of winning.
