‘Tottenham have to take their chance in Capital One Cup final’


Scholes, a League Cup winner with United in the 2008-09 season and again in 2009-10, said that for Spurs’ young side - which includes the likes of the prolific striker Harry Kane and midfielders Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb


it’s an opportunity to land a first trophy at an early stage in their careers. Kane is 21, Mason is 23 and Bentaleb is 20, while Scholes was 21 when he claimed his first Premier League title at United.
“Do they have the courage to win a one-off match? Quite simply, do they have the balls to take risks?” Scholes asked. “We know that the current Chelsea team is capable of seizing the moment. The question marks are more about Tottenham
“I am sure that they will all have very good careers but it comes down to how much you have won in the end, and winning finals is difficult,” he continued. “A cup final is all about seizing the moment. On Sunday we will find out what this good young Spurs team are like when the pressure is really on.”
Scholes was part of United teams that beat Spurs on penalties in the 2009 final, playing 108 minutes of the match, and was an unused substitute a year later as United dispatched Aston Villa 2-1. James Milner, now of Manchester City, gave Villa an early lead from the penalty spot, before Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney scored to give United consecutive League Cup wins.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
