1-0
The first big match-up in the 2013-14 Football League Cup, or Capital One Cup, came today with Manchester United hosting Liverpool. In the third round match Manchester United elected to start Hernandez at striker who hasn't seen much action this season playing behind Van Persie. Luis Suarez hasn't seen much action lately either, but with his suspension complete Liverpool welcomed him back into the starting line-up.
United had the hot start today with Rooney and Kagawa looking spry at Old Trafford. Liverpool survived the early barrage though and got Sturridge and Suarez involved. By half-time no goals were scored, but the match was wide open.
Manchester started the second-half better than the first and quickly scored from a set-piece. Rooney delivered the corner into the box that Hernandez finished. The Mexican striker attacked the service at the near-post and turned the shot into Liverpool's net (46').
Liverpool managed a few good shots after conceding the goal, but Rooney and United were able to keep up the attack and keep Liverpool's defense busy. No other goals were scored and United move to the next round.
