Sportvid: Manchester United vs Sunderland: live stream, Full preview, TV info

Manchester United must overhaul Sunderland's 2-1 lead on Wednesday if they are to reach the Capital One Cup final.

United, who have won the competition three times in the last eight seasons, will take on Gus Poyet's Black Cats in the semi-final second leg at Old Trafford having been narrowly beaten on Wearside just over a fortnight ago.

Fabio Borini's controversial 64th-minute penalty settled the first-leg tie after a Nemanja Vidic header had cancelled out Ryan Giggs' own goal at the Stadium of Light.

The winner will take on Manchester City, who beat West Ham 9-0 on aggregate in the other semi-final.

“Now, we are not going to go there feeling sorry or whatever, we are going to go there to do our job and play the game, make it difficult for them, make sure we are a difficult team to play against, that we go with the mentality to win and score goals, and then we will see.

“Then the opposition plays and if [Wayne] Rooney is available or if he is not… Like I always say, they are very, very good and they are Manchester United.

“That’s no problem, we need to make sure we are good ourselves.”

David Moyes will assess the fitness of striking duo Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie before finalising his starting line-up for the Capital One Cup semi-final clash with Sunderland at Old Trafford.

Rooney (groin) and Van Persie (thigh) have missed four and 10 matches respectively, but were due to return to training on Monday, leaving Moyes to decide whether to involve either player as United looked to emulate their achievements of 2009 and 2010 by overcoming a 2-1 first-leg deficit.

Skipper Nemanja Vidic starts a three-match ban, which is expected to see either Chris Smalling or Phil Jones line up alongside Jonny Evans in central defence.

Sunderland

Last 6

Argentina internationals Santiago Vergini and Oscar Ustari go straight into the Sunderland squad for the Capital One Cup semi-final second-leg trip to Manchester United.

Defender Vergini and goalkeeper Ustari, who only completed his move to the Black Cats on Tuesday afternoon, will both travel to Old Trafford with the latter almost certain to be on the bench.

Striker Steven Fletcher has suffered no adverse reaction to the Achilles problem which prevented him from starting against Southampton on Saturday, but defender Carlos Cuellar (hip) and keeper Keiren Westwood (shoulder surgery) are still out.
