MARINERS CAN LAND BIG FISH

GRIMSBY boss David Artell insists he's not jealous of Ruben Amorim's huge spending power as the Mariners look to pull off a Carabao Cup giant-killing against Manchester United.

League Two Town host the three-time European champions in a classic David-versus-Goliath clash at a sold-out Blundell Park tonight as the sides meet for the first time since 1948.

Grimsby’s last victory against the Old Trafford giants came the year before in a season that proved to be their last in the top flight, the two clubs having gone in vastly opposite directions ever since.

Despite being separated by 56 League places, Town will be cheered on by more than 8,000 fans desperate to pull off a footballing miracle against the six-time League Cup winners.
