Why Manchester United vs Charlton Athletic is not on TV and how to follow the game

Manchester United clash with Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, having won their last seven matches in all competitions.

The Reds defeated Everton 3-1 in the FA Cup third round on Friday night, so Erik ten Hag's men will be looking to progress in the other domestic cup competition at the expense of League One Charlton.

United overcame Burnley in the last round of the Carabao Cup, with Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford both on the scoresheet in the 2-0 victory last month. The fixture on Tuesday night is likely to see Ten Hag make a number of changes to his side as the Reds prepare to play four times in just 12 days.

Ten Hag's men will be keen to progress in the EFL Cup this term after exiting the competition at the third round stage last season, having lost 1-0 at home to West Ham United.

What TV channel is Manchester United vs Charlton on?

The match, which kicks off at 8pm, will not be shown live on TV for fans in the UK as Newcastle vs Leicester was picked for TV instead. However, MUTV's pre-match show with full radio commentary of the game will begin at 6:55pm.

As always, the Manchester Evening News will bring you live updates during our live matchday blog.

What is the early team news?

Bruno Fernandes is suspended for the match against the Addicks having accumulated a yellow card in each of United's two matches so far in the competition. Meanwhile, fellow midfielder Donny van de Beek is set to be sidelined for an extended period of time after suffering an injury in the Premier League win over Bournemouth.

While Jadon Sancho has returned to Carrington, it remains to be seen if the attacker will feature in the upcoming Carabao Cup clash.

For Charlton, defender Eoghan O’Connell returned for the first time since October in the win over Lincoln, but Mandela Egbo will miss the clash against United with a quad injury. Goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer missed the league clash with Lincoln due to concussion protocol, and fellow goalkeeper Joe Wollacott is not expected to return to training for a few more weeks.
