Quarter-final draw follows
Sunderland 3-1 Brentford
Here comes the cavalry for Brentford as Michael Kayode, Mamadou Sangare and Callum Wilson make way for Danjo Ouattara, Aaron Hickey and Mathias Jensen.
For Sunderland, Omar Alderete and Tymur Tutierov are replaced by Luke O'Nien and Thomas Meunier as we pass the hour mark.
Man City 2-2 Brighton
Brighton think they have taken the lead for the third time in the game but the flag shoots up.
Pascal Gross has the ball in the back of the net but Georginio Rutter was offside in the build up.
Vitor Reis (72 mins)
A really clever free-kick from Rayan Cherki.
The Frenchman takes it low and it takes a slight deflection off a foot of the edge of the wall which puts goalkeeper Jason Steele off and the ball works it's way into the back of the net.
The goal actually goes down as Vitor Reis', that was where the deflection came from.

Phil Foden is swarmed right on the edge of the area and wins a free-kick in a really dangerous spot.
This is literally right next to the 18-yard line. The wall are practically camped on the six-yard box.
Man City 1-2 Brighton
It's certainly not quite clicking for City just yet but they have had chances to draw level again.
Rayan Cherki wriggles free in the box, we know how dangerous he can be in tight areas, and his shot deflects behind for a corner.

Chelsea now missing their best striker, best defender and their captain. Injuries starting to pile up again. Hopefully the backup brigade can take their chance. Surely Estevao should be getting more games?

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

Former Crystal Palace striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
It's been a good game of football. I think Liverpool have been the better team, but Chelsea look a threat. In particular with Morgan Rogers causing a lot of problems, but Liverpool look a threat as well.
There were a few times when Gakpo is played in at the end, and he looks a bit hesitant. He's on his heels when he should be on his toes, but like I said it's a really good game. I'm looking forward to the second half.

Has the bubble burst for Maresca? Brighton are playing like they're at home.

Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace
Joachim Andersen wins the initial header from the free-kick and Calvin Bassey puts Dean Henderson under pressure and does enough to win a corner.
Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace
Jefferson Lerma goes into the book for a foul and Fulham have a free-kick in a decent area.
Lewis Cook (51 mins)
Bournemouth have their second!
It looks to me like Lewis Cook's cross goes all the way into the back of the net at Marco Bizot's near post.
Poor from the Villa goalkeeper, just after he had made a really good save, too.

A game that really came to life in the final few minutes of the half. All square at the break.
Man City 1-2 Brighton
It's all Brighton right now and Georginio Rutter isn't half proving a handful for Manchester City.
He makes a good run then rounds the keeper before firing into the side netting from a tight angle.
Perhaps he could have cut it back for Pascal Gross instead?
Sunderland 3-1 Brentford
Back under way in the north east.
Sunderland have brought on Chris Rigg for Habib Diarra.

Clinton Morrison
Former Crystal Palace striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Yeah, Liverpool deserve it to be fair. They have been the better team.
It was a mistake from Fofana. I don't know why his hand is in the air.
What a penalty from Cody Gakpo into the bottom corner, and he's been a good player for Liverpool this season, I think he's playing his best football. I think hes been outstanding.
Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace
No changes at the break.
Alvaro Arbeloa said he wants to win this competition. His side have work to do to keep that dream alive.
Man City 1-2 Brighton
Another big Brighton chance and this time it forces Geronimo Rulli into a superb fingertip save.
Georginio Rutter curls one towards goal and Rulli tips over the bar.
What a save.

Bournemouth make a couple of changes for the start of the second half as Justin Kluivert and Rayan are on for Marcus Tavernier and Amine Adli. They appear to be pre-planned changes.
We're back under way.
HT: Sunderland 3-1 Brentford
Gary Bennett
Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle
I’ve heard rave reviews about Jocelin, apparently he’s been pulling up trees.
I think we seen it in that first half.
Positive, plenty of energy and he’s been involved in all three goals.
Man City 1-2 Brighton
Manchester City have been a bit sloppy so far this half while Brighton look fired up.
Chemsdine Talbi has scored twice in the League Cup for Sunderland this season
Sunderland put aside their Premier League struggles to book a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with victory over Brentford.
Despite being second best for much of the first half, the Black Cats stormed into a 3-0 lead with three goals in 13 minutes at the Stadium of Light.
Chemsdine Talbi began the scoring when he tapped home from less than a yard away after brilliant work from Joceline Ta Bi.
Three minutes later, Ta Bi was heavily involved again when he worked room in the box to pick out Tymur Tutierov, who finished with ease.
Then, in the 39th minute, the Stadium of Light erupted for a third time and it was largely down to Ivory Coast speedster Ta Bi - who assisted again when Malick Fofana headed home his back-post cross.
Brentford pulled a goal back before the break when former Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson bundled in a volley into the bottom corner.
Sunderland boss Regis le Bris had made 11 changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Leeds United on Sunday, but the league's bottom club showed quality to take control against the Bees, who are sixth in the table.
Striker Igor Thiago, who has struggled for goals this season, came close in the 65th minute, but could not make contact with his diving header.
But the Brazilian did get his goal in added time with a trademark bullet header, but it was too little, too late for Brentford as Sunderland claimed a last-eight spot for the first time since 2022.
They will visit Crystal Palace, who have also had a disappointing start to the campaign, but won at Fulham on Wednesday night.
