First, in the history of English football, the FA Cup has been much higher in the minds of fans than the league for a long time.

In order to force the league and weaken the influence of the FA Cup, the FA held the English League Cup.

The League Cup is a single-knockout competition between England's 72 professional clubs, regardless of division. In the English domestic league, the League Cup is ranked behind the league and the FA Cup. For top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, the Carabao Cup is just a game to train their substitutes.

For top clubs, ignoring the Carabao Cup is also a helpless move. Because in addition to participating in the league, FA Cup, League Cup, they also have to participate in the lucrative UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup. If the results are good, it could reach nearly 70 games in nine months of a season. On average, there are close to two games a week. And the players are not iron-clad.

Of course, now that the Carabao Cup is in its final, neither Manchester United nor rivals Everton will take the final game lightly. You know, no matter how bad the status of the League Cup is, it is also an official cup competition under the FA. Who thinks they have too many trophies in their team's honor room?

Everton are 10th in the league this season and have not even secured a place in the UEFA Cup. Such a result could not please the Toffee fans. Because of this, Everton is holding back their strength to win the League Cup and avoid the embarrassment of the big four this season.

Manchester United, on their side, have already set several league records. Everyone is ambitious and wants to win all the championships in all competitions this season. The League Cup is their second trophy to be harvested this summer.
