Another change for QPR as Alfie Lloyd comes on up top in place of Richard Kone.

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo probably won't be too thrilled with the start his side have had so far.

Portsmouth have looked far too comfortable and have kept the hosts to just the one attempt on goal.

He'll have a chance to try and pep up his side during this hydration break but he's looking a little worried. There's a lot of eyes on how his squad are going to perform in the upcoming Championship and this performance won't help fans' concerns after an underwhelming transfer window so far.

Huddersfield almost make the extra man count!

Ashley Fletcher, who had just been on the receiving end of Lewis Gibson's red card tackle, steps up and cracks his free kick off the post.

Ryan Ledson's follow-up is put behind for a corner.

We're having a hydration break here!

Both sets of fans loudly boo this decision and are now being drowned out by some music.

Some of the supporters around us take this as a chance to head downstairs for a break themselves.

I don't think West Ham have had a shot at goal yet. No one is running in behind. Has Pablo touched the ball?

Maybe a head coach duo is the way to go? What a start this is for Lincoln City double act Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw.

If this is a sign of things to come this season for the Imps, they will be more than happy.

Around the grounds, Peterborough have just taken the lead against Bristol Rovers through Harry Leonard's penalty.

Reading lead against Bromley via Josh Stokes' strike, Fleetwood have broken the deadlock against Gillingham through Ched Evans and Blackpool took a very early lead against Grimsby following Niall Ennis' goal.

Crewe Alexandra are also set for the second round at the moment after Jack Lankester's seventh minute penalty against Accrington Stanley.

There is a good turnout of Northampton fans today.

You though there might have been more Leicester fans here, and I thought with it being the first competitive game of the season - it would be interesting to see how it compares to last year's first EFL Cup game.

Paul Heckingbottom will be furious with this, especially after such a bright start by Preston.

Ashley Fletcher was running through on goal, forcing Lewis Gibson to make the professional foul, and be sent off.

Adam Idah provides the first shot on target of the match but Blues keeper James Beadle keeps it out of the corner.

Birmingham haven't been able to take aim at the goal themselves as of yet.

Julien Stephan makes his first changes of the afternoon for QPR.

Nicolas Madsen and Rumarn Burrell make way for Jonathan Varane and Kwame Poku.

Ben House, who gave Lincoln an early lead, drives forward into space and hits a low rasping drive from range but Jacob Widell Zetterstrom gets across well to make the save.

That's a free header and Edson Alvarez should be doing better.

It wasn't a very strong header either, it was quite soft.

It is nice to see that the first goal is from a corner, as we haven't seen many set piece goals in recent years.

It has been a downfall of us in previous seasons, and so it is great to see so early on.

Edson Alvarez almost marks his return to the matchday squad with a goal but it's not enough to trouble Pompey keeper Nicolas Schmid.

The Hammers don't seem to be causing Portsmouth too much trouble so far. The visitors don't look overawed by the occasion at all.

Notts County are just enjoying a decent spell of pressure at Turf Moor with a couple of corners in quick succession.

Not a bad start at Turf Moor for the side who were promoted from League Two last season.

Ruben Rodrigues drags his shot wide for Bolton, while a Sheffield Wednesday counter-attack gives Callum Slattery the opportunity to score on debut.

The midfielder also takes his shot too wide, though.

Interesting start to this, just needs to find the netting.

The last time Goodison Park was used by anyone but Everton for a football match was...

...the 1985 FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Who doesn't love a random fact?
