Preview: Manchester United vs. Norwich City

United vs. Norwich

Manchester United take on Norwich City in the last 16 of the League Cup on Tuesday.

David Moyes's side go into the game on the back of Saturday's rousing victory over Stoke City.

Javier Hernandez's winner at the weekend is likely to earn the Mexican a start as the likes of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney drop out of the starting XI.

Chris Hughton is sure to give Nathan Redmond a start after some impressive cameos from the bench in recent weeks, while up front he could start two of Gary Hooper, Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Johan Elmander.

When these two sides last met at Old Trafford it was a convincing victory for United as Shinji Kagawa scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win.
