"Aldershot vs Manchester United"Aldershot Town will play host to Manchester United tonight in the fourth round of the English Carling Cup Kick-off 18:45 GMT on October 25, 2011 at The EBB Stadium at the Recreation Ground.

Aldershot Town has been beaten higher-league opposition in all of the earlier rounds and has been rewarded with a home tie against the four-time winners of the competition. The Shots’ 5-2 fabulous victory against Dagenham at the weekend brought an end to a run of five-consecutive league defeats.

League Two team Aldershot beat Carlisle, West Ham and Rochdale to reach the fourth round. They have no injury worries in front of tonight’s Carling Cup tie against the English Premier League champions. On-loan striker Adam Smith may start the game, after making his full debut over Dagenham and Redbridge.

Manchester United came into the game on the back of their biggest home defeat in 81 years at the hands of Manchester City. United may set to changes for the tour to the EBB Stadium after their 6-1 defeat against rivals Man City at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Man. United strike Leeds United with 3-0 scores in their only League Cup tie this season thanks to a brace from Michael Owen and a Ryan Giggs hit.

The Red Devils Captain Nemanja Vidic could return in central defence in position of Jonny Evans who is suspended. Ryan Giggs (hamstring injury) misses out, while Rafael (shoulder injury) and Tom Cleverley (ankle injury) remain side-lined.

Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov might start up front, while Michael Owen may also aspect. Park Ji-Sung and Antonio Valencia were unused substitutes over Manchester City and may also be handed starts.

Aldershot Town Squad: Worner, Straker, Herd, Brown, Morris, Guttridge, Collins, Vincenti, McGlashan, Hylton and Rankine.
