The Carabao Cup semi-finals are a tale of two derbies in which Tottenham and Brentford meet in North London on Tuesday, with José Mourinho’s Spurs, big favorites to advance.
That means there will likely be a Wembley showdown with Special One by the time United and City meet at Old Trafford in the second semi-final on Wednesday night.
Since the semi-finals are a one-legged affair this season due to a short season, there has to be a winner on the night, and neither Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nor Pep Guardiola will want to pass up a chance for a chance to win some early titles.
Date, start time and place
Man United vs Man City is scheduled to kick off at 7:45 pm GMT on Wednesday, January 6, 2021.
The match will be held behind closed doors at Old Trafford due to coronavirus restrictions.
If the game is leveled full time, there will be 30 minutes of extra time before the penalty shoot-out if necessary.

Man United vs Man City team news
Edinson Cavani is suspended by United, while Victor Lindelof could be sidelined with a back injury.
Solskjaer might be tempted to give players like Donny van de Beek and Mason Greenwood playing time, but he might as well stick with his first-choice XI in a bid to reach the final.
As for City, Guardiola is currently without Eric Garcia, Gabriel Jesus, Kyle Walker and Ederson due to Covid-19, while Aymeric Laporte has a hamstring strain.
Man United vs Man City prediction: 3-2 United victory
The last League match here was a monotonous 0-0 draw, but since this is a one-legged cup tie both teams should give it a try, and there could be plenty of goals. United are a slight favorite due to City’s absences from Covid-19, but their magnificent victory at Chelsea should serve as a warning for Solskjaer.
