Follow updates from five EFL Cup matches
Quarter-final draw follows
Man City 0-0 Brighton
A brilliant run down the left-hand side and Yasin Ayari shows good initiative to hook the ball back across goal. Not sure if that was a shot or a pass but either way it drags wide with no one there to turn home at the back post.

Rayan Cherki never stops running, he is such a wonderful player to watch.
June
Bournemouth 1-0 Aston Villa
Bournemouth continue to attack as they look to grab a second. The ball is again worked to Julio Soler but this time his cross is dealt with by the Villa defence.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
City fail to clear their lines after some nifty Brighton passing around the penalty area and for the first time the hosts are under a bit of pressure.
A lack of composure at the back sees Geronimo Rulli called into action a couple of times.

Defensively Chelsea aren't that good.
Maxence Lacroix was outstanding with Crystal Palace in a three, and he has struggled since he's gone to Chelsea. I don't know why but he has struggled big time, and I thought he was a brilliant signing for them.
Sunderland 0-0 Brentford
As you'd expect, judging by the teams tonight, Brentford are starting to control the game in the north east.
Nathan Collins has had the only effort on target so far but his header was saved by Melker Ellborg.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
Manchester City are appealing for a penalty after Rico Lewis goes down in the box but the referee is having none of it.

I'm happy with Florian Wirttz, you're starting to see the best of him and that's because you have players that are now on his wavelength.
He's a good player I said it last season, but give him a bit of time. Everyone thinks you can come to a new club and country, and hit the ground running. I know people were criticising him at the start of the season, he wasn't delivering, but he looks like he's got his mojo back.

No Estevao, but Gusto and Lavia get a start. Starting to worry about Alonso now especially after the Spurs match.

Armine Adli (7 mins)
Perfect start for the hosts!
It is a nice goal, too, as Julio Soler lifts a great ball in from the left and it falls perfectly for Armine Adli to volley into the roof of the net.

I covered the game against Villarreal and Rio Ngomoha was absolutely sensational.
I'm looking forward to seeing what he does tonight.
Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace
This is one of two games for Pierre Sage to save his job, if current rumours are to be believed. The second comes against Tottenham at the weekend.
With that in mind, it's an interesting XI the Palace boss has gone for tonight.

I’m with my mate Jim on his first trip to Sunderland. It’s a battle of red and white stripes!

Man City 0-0 Brighton
Georginio Rutter chops inside and gets a decent shot away but it's a straight to the gloves of Geronimo Rulli.
Bournemouth 0-0 Aston Villa
Amine Adli goes down inside the box under a challenge as he tries to meet a cutback. There's some shouts for a penalty but nothing is given.
Man City 0-0 Brighton
Not much action in the Manchester City half so far but Brighton try to fashion an opportunity down the right-hand side until Ayyoub Bouaddi's tenacity pays off and he pushes Pascal Gross out wide.

You have to look at the amount of games that Virgil van Dijk has played and his age.
The one thing as you get older, playing the games back to back starts to take a bit longer to recover, and going back to that Villarreal game he made really uncharacteristic mistakes. Maybe it's a little bit of fatigue, and not quite being where he needs to be mentally.
Jaquet is a lot younger, he's also come in and played a lot of football but he has been magnificent.
As a partnership, particularly in the Premier League they have looked a lot more solid

Think there’s a danger that Liverpool will be bullied in midfield. Chelsea look to have a more experienced starting XI and Liverpool the stronger bench. C’mon you Redmen.

I think it is a big night for Ryan Gravenberch because he was missing out when Dominik Szoboszlai was fit. It was always Szoboszlai and Alexis Mcallister and Florian Wirtz in the 10.
Now he has an opportunity, and I like Gravenberch, I think he's a good player but he's not a six. I know Liverpool won the league when he was playing there, but I think Gravenberch likes to be more box to box.

Bournemouth's win against Aston Villa was the first time in five matches that they had beaten a Premier League side in the EFL Cup
Quickfire goals at the start of each half helped Bournemouth make it three wins in six days as they beat high-flying Aston Villa to book their place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Fresh from wins against AC Milan in the Europa League and Manchester United in the Premier League at Old Trafford last week, the Cherries earned their first win against Villa in over four years to advance to the last eight of the competition for the first time since the 2018-19 season.
After a weekend in which both teams earneed emphatic wins in the Premier League - with Villa becoming the first side to defeat Manchester City this season - both managers made a significant number of changes for the tie at the Vitality Stadium.
Yet despite making eight changes, Bournemouth's momentum showed little sign of slowing after one of the most remarkable weeks in their history as Amine Adli fired the home side ahead with only seven minutes on the clock.
After sealing the 3-0 victory against AC Milan with a stunning free-kick, the Moroccan forward's second goal in six days was much simpler this time around as he converted from inside the area after a delicate touch and cross from full-back Julio Soler.
Marco Rose's side came close to doubling their lead eight minutes later when Ben Gannon-Doak forced a strong save from Marco Bizot at the near post.
Villa's best chance of the half came just before the half-hour mark when teenager George Hemmings was unable to steer his effort on target from inside the area.
On his second start of the season, 17-year-old forward Brian Madjo was limited to just 12 touches during a half of few chances for Villa.
Bournemouth were marginally quicker out of the traps at the start of the second half, with Lewis Cook doubling their lead only six minutes after the restart.
Just seconds after Bizot had tipped Juanlu Sanchez's effort on to the crossbar, Cook all but made sure of his side's place in the next round from the resulting corner as his cross caught the Aston Villa goalkeeper out at the near post after playing a one-two with Gannon-Doak.
Summer signing Alvaro Rodriguez drilled home a third from with 21 minutes remaining to compound Villa to a first defeat in eight games.
