Games will be played on October 25-26, 2016 and all fixtures will start at 19.45 with the exception of the Manchester derby, which will kick off at 8 pm

Sixfields Stadium- 21 September, 2016- League Cup
Some relief for Jose Mourinho after three straight losses as Man Utd beat Northampton 3-1. Cracker from Michael Carrick.
England skipper Wayne Rooney was the subject of plenty of criticism from fans and pundits on social media after Manchester United’s 3-1 loss to Watford on Sunday and as this video shows, that was not without reason. A very poor game from Rooney- poor first touches, crosses & passes, and and makes things all the more difficult for Jose Mourinho given that he’s now lost three in a row (for the first time since 2002) and has banished Germany’s World cup winning skipper Bastian Schweinsteiger from the first team squad.
