If you could relive two-and-a-half minutes of any game, which would it be? Leeds fans may be in agreement with this suggestion....

I've just realised it's Jose Mourinho's birthday. Sorry Jose I forgot to send you a card. We've sent you to Hull instead.

I think Hull City need this game like a hole in the head. They have far bigger fish to fry. Fellaini's goal at Old Trafford killed the tie. That said it's a strong side from United and the very opposite from Hull.

United are on a good run. Small Manchester-United-like things are creeping back in, scoring late goals. They will have high hopes of being in the top four.

• Manchester United have won nine of their past 10 League Cup semi-final second leg matches, with their only defeat in this time coming against Chelsea in 2004-05.

If you could relive two-and-a-half minutes of any game, which would it be? Some solid suggestions here:

John Coyle: Easy. 27th April 2013. Brentford 0-1 Doncaster Rovers

Danny Charity: 2013, North London Derby - Bale and Lennon score in space of 1 minute. Thought White Hart Lane was going to collapse

Paul: The finale to the 88/89 season...Michael Thomas' last minute goal & flip. Those 150 seconds meant I didn't sleep a wink! Epic.

It's up for grabs nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Hull City midfielder Ryan Mason is making "excellent progress" after fracturing his skull during Sunday's game at Chelsea, his club says.

The England international, 25, clashed heads with Blues defender Gary Cahill 13 minutes into the Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.

He was taken to St Mary's Hospital in London, where he had surgery.

Hull's statement, external said Mason would "continue to be closely monitored by staff" at the hospital.

I can't see Hull getting a result. Manchester United will be too strong for them. The 2-0 deficit is probably going to be too big and they are losing players as well in the transfer window.

The one positive they have is Abel Hernandez is back again and he is scoring, but I don't think the overall quality is there to beat Manchester United.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is planning to visit Hull midfielder Ryan Mason in hospital at some point on Thursday.

Hull played pretty well in the first leg at Old Trafford but now have it all to do. They trail by two goals.

Jose Mourinho moved a step closer to a major trophy in his first season as Manchester United manager as goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini secured a first-leg victory. 

Juan Mata got the breakthrough just before the hour mark when he tapped in from Henrikh Mkhitaryan's knockdown.

Substitute Marouane Fellaini scored a second late on, heading in from Matteo Darmian's cross to put United in command.

• On 26 of the 27 previous occasions a side has lost a League Cup semi-final first leg by two or more goals they have gone out - the exception was Aston Villa in 1993-94, who lost 3-1 to Tranmere Rovers in the first leg before winning the second leg 3-1 and triumphing 5-4 on penalties.

Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho says he is not thinking about the fact his side are the only team that still have the chance to win four trophies this season.

West Ham have joined Burnley in having an offer accepted by Hull for Robert Snodgrass, while Middlesbrough say they have also made a bid.

The offers from West Ham and Burnley are in the region of £10m, though the Hammers' is higher.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche said there was a "difference" between a fee being agreed and "a player joining".

Meanwhile, Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka says his club are "working on offers with Hull".

"I think they rejected an offer but we are working, " he added.

You'll be cheered up no doubt by the news today that the world has edged closer to apocalypse in the past year amid a darkening security landscape and comments by Donald Trump.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BPA) moved the minute hand of the symbolic Doomsday Clock from three minutes to two-and-a-half minutes to midnight.

So, if you could re-live just two-and-a-half minutes of any game, what would it be, and why?

I mean, I'm not suggesting that the best use of your last minutes on earth is YouTubing that day you won promotion at Scunthorpe but, you know, humour me.

Hull reached the FA Cup final under Steve Bruce in 2014 but they've never gone all the way in the League Cup. Tonight is the night. Maybe. 

Southampton boss Claude Puel has stressed the importance of securing European football next season after his side reached the EFL Cup final.

Saints won at Liverpool and will face Manchester United or Hull, with the winners entering the Europa League.

Puel faced criticism when his side drew with Hapoel Be'er Sheva to exit the Europa League group stage this season.

"It's important to put this experience for next year in European games. It'll be important to qualify," said Puel.

"It will be important for the squad to continue the work, to improve, and know the possibilities to play European games."

OK. It's cold.

One of those freeze your face nights.

I nipped outside from the warmth of the media room to get a shot of the team buses arriving and in the couple of minutes I had my gloves off, my hands were already freezing.

On the face of it, there is little chance of extra-time at the KCOM but if Hull are to prevail and book a Wembley date with Southampton, I sincerely hope it is by a score big enough to get them through in 90 minutes.

Hull need to prioritise. It's an important competition but staying in the Premier League is more important. Even though Abel Hernandez is in form, I don't think this is a game for him to play. He needs to be fit for the Premier League week in week out.
