Manchester United vs Blackburn Rovers, 2nd Leg Manchester United win 3-2 on aggregate

FULL-TIME: Saha's second-half goal sees United through to a Cardiff final against north-west neighbours Wigan.

Goalkeeper Friedel comes up for the corner, but United cope easily with the threat.

Silvestre makes a crucial tackle as he slides Savage's through-ball, aimed at Neill rampaging down the right, out for a corner.

Rooney mounts a counter attack as he runs at the heart of the Blackburn defence, though the Rovers players flood back to snuff out the danger.

There will be four minutes of added time for Blackburn to snatch something.

Rovers win a corner when a cross in to the middle is flicked behind by Neville. Saha clears the set-piece at the near post.

Neill lofts a cross in to the middle, but Van Der Sar collects easily. Without Kuqi, Blackburn really have no aerial threat.

Blackburn are trying desperately to mount some meaningful pressure on the United goal, but they just lack the invention to do so.

UNITED SUB: Van Nistelrooy off, Vidic on. It's a United debut for the big Serbian centre-back, and he is welcomed by a loud cheer from the Old Trafford faithful.

BLACKBURN SUB: Tugay off, Peter on. The young German striker comes on to give Rovers an extra edge up front.

TACKLE! Richardson tracks Reid's break down the right-hand side and produces a good sliding tacke to halt the attack and put the ball out of play.

Neill has the chance to fire in a shot from 25 yards, but he instead tries to turn inside and find a colleague with a through-ball - Brown intercepts and clears.

Blackburn should take heart from the performance of Wigan, last evening; the Latics were seconds from going out of the competition at Highbury before snatching a last-minute away goal to steal the tie from under Arsenal's noses.

Neill is getting forward down the right a lot more often than he has down throughout this evening, doing his best to provide an extra man down that side.

Silvestre has slotted in to the left-back spot vacated by his fellow Frenchman Evra. PS: Mark Hughes has won the League Cup with Manchester United, Chelsea and Blackburn.

UNITED SUB: Evra is replaced by Silvestre. United new signing has had a good game tonight, but seems to be limping a little as he departs.

Emerton and Savage combine well down the left, but the low cross in to the area is cut out by Brown.

Blackburn do well down the right-hand side, with Neill breaking in to the penalty area and forcing Ferdinand to put the ball behind for a corner.

It seems that Pedersen has been asked to go through the middle to support Bentley up-front, with Reid and Emerton supporting from the wings.

BLACKBURN SUB: Kuqi off, Emerton on. A strange change from Hughes, replacing his only natural striker with a midfielder.

United win their sixth corner of the match. Rooney ambles over to take it, though Kuqi deals with the cross at the back post.

GOOD EFFORT! Van Nistelrooy and Rooney link up well, with the Dutchman finding the youngster on the edge of the area, Rooney turning and firing a snap-shot on goal that Friedel does well to save at his near post.

Blackburn are just beginning to pass the ball a bit better in midfield, though they are still struggling to find that killer final ball in the last third.

Still no sign of a change from either manager; Ferguson must be tempted to bring on another midfielder, just to shore things up?

Mark Hughes has won the League Cup with three different clubs: can you name them? (Answer in the 80th minute)
