MANCHESTER, England: Shay Given has vowed to make it a week of cup pain for Manchester United when Manchester City face their neighbors in the first leg of their League Cup semifinal on Wednesday.

Roberto Mancini's City hope to take a huge stride towards ending a 34-year wait for major silverware when they host a United side reeling from its elimination from the FA Cup by League One club Leeds United.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to react to that setback by naming a strong line-up against opponents who have won three successive games without conceding a goal since Mancini was appointed.
