Jose Mourinho has chosen Anthony Martial in the starting eleven for EFL Cup final but there is no place for club captain Wayne Rooney.

Mourinho has made a total of six changes from the midweek, with David De Gea taking his place between the posts while Marcos Rojo has been preferred over others to boss the left side of the defence. Ander Herrera returns to the lineup while Jesse Lingard, along with Martial, are tasked with the responsibility of the wings.

Charlie Austin is injured for Claude Puel’s men but new signing Manolo Gabbiadini has been impressive so far upfront for the Saints. Nathan Redmond will likely be the danger man for them as they eye European qualification via the EFL Cup trophy.
