London: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has pledged to bring out the heavy artillery for today's League Cup semi-final first leg at home to Hull City.

United face a showdown with fellow League Cup semi-finalists Liverpool in the league at the weekend, but with a day out at Wembley only 180 minutes away, Mourinho does not want to take any chances.

"We play against Liverpool, a big match for us, but we want to be in the final," he said. "So we are going to face this Hull match with everything we have, all the power we have, as we know it's two legs, but the second leg is away.

"If we can do something in the first leg that gives us the advantage. I play with the players that didn't play (against Reading)," said Mourinho, who won three League Cups over his two spells at Chelsea.
