Rio and Giggs out – who will win the Carling Cup?

So here it comes, the first big cup final of the season. Or, more realistically, the chance for a team outside the Big Four to grab an early European spot to ensure a rather less irksome end to the campaign.
Fact fans will be interested to note that Villa have won four of their five League Cup meetings against Man United, and are only second to Liverpool in terms of winning the whole competition – five times, to Liverpool’s seven.
Plus, of course, United will be without Rio Ferdinand (back problems) and their talisman Ryan Giggs (gammy arm), so, on balance, the defending champions might be the ones with the bigger of the two mountains to climb.
But who do YOU think will win the thing? Let is know with a vote and a comment.
