Overview
The Premier League champions come into the midweek League Cup tie after their dramatic 3-2 win over Stoke City at Old Trafford last weekend. Mark Hughes saw his men open the scoring early in the first with Peter Crouch giving the visitors an early lead. However, his goal was cancelled by Robin van Persie's strike before the break.
United's joy was cut short by Marko Arnautovic as his free kick from outside the box saw David Moyes' men trailing after half time. The Red Devils bounced back in the final quarter of the game with two goals in the space of three minutes, first from Wayne Rooney and then followed by Javier Hernandez, whose header saw the English champions seal three crucial points.
Moyes lead his team to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup after a dramatic 1-0 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Hernandez was on the score sheet and is likely to start on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, Norwich enter this fixture after their goalless draw against Cardiff City at home. The Canaries have managed only two wins from their last five games in all competitions, while a victory over Watford in the third round of the Capital One Cup enabled them to face the Premier League Champions at Old Trafford.
What the Managers Say
David Moyes: "From the first day I've set out to win everything I possibly can and if I come up short with some of that we'll find out at the end. My thought is to win everything I go for, every trophy we win and every game we play. So that's the plan."
Chris Hughton: "There's nothing that breeds confidence like a good performance and a win. But we know how difficult the task is. For us to get a win at Old Trafford would be a big ask and a big achievement. First and foremost you want to put in a performance that says you've come up here not just to make up the numbers. Any result that we get there will give us a real lift."
