Morgan Rogers turns quickly on the ball and drives but he can't quite get enough on it to beat the keeper. Rogers almost won it for Villa.

John McGinn swings in a cross from deep on the right touchline for Villa, but Hakon Valdimarsson safely gathers. We're getting closer and closer to penalties.

Crystal Palace are doing what they need to and battling through as it stands. But the job is not done yet. Millwall are only one goal away from forcing penalties.

Can either side get a winner? Morgan Rogers, who impressed for England in the international break last week, twists to get the ball on to the left foot, but his strike doesn't have the necessary power and is easily dealt with by home keeper Hakon Valdimarsson.

That is a bit brighter from Morgan Rogers. He spins away from his opponent and the pass isn't quite right, but that's much brighter from him.

By the way, it was Aaron Hickey's first goal for Brentford and his first since scoring for Bologna on 24 April, 2022. The Scotland international has had a nightmare time with injuries but what a goal it was today and what a moment for him.

The League Two side's EFL Cup journey goes on!

Jaze Kabia's second-half header proves to be the difference and Grimsby go into the fourth round of this competition for the first time since 2001.

Wednesday did not manage a single shot on target.

FIVE minutes of time added on at the end.

Can Wednesday find an equaliser to send this one to pens?

They beat both Bolton and Leeds from the spot in the previous two rounds.

The away side bring on Huddersfield Town loanee Neo Eccleston for the final few minutes.

A big chance for Millwall to take the lead, but substitute Josh Coburn, who came on at the start of the second half for Mihailo Ivanovic, could not convert.

Thierno Ballo did well to grab the ball from Will Hughes and got into the box and set up Coburn.

I think Elliott has shown an awful lot of composure. He has to be in the conversation to start against Sunderland.

Donyell Malen and goalscorer Harvey Elliott have been taken off by Unai Emery with England internationals Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins coming on as Villa look to win this before it gets to penalties.

If it does go to spot kicks, you'd expect Watkins and Rogers to be in Villa's first five.

Frank Onyeka's throw-in from the right led to Brentford's goal, excellently volleyed in by Aaron Hickey after Pau Torres' header didn't have much distance on it, and another chucked Onyeka missile, this time from the left, causes more problems.

But Marco Bizot, almost under his own crossbar, manages to claw it out.

If Grimsby can see this one over the line it will be just their second ever win at Sheffield Wednesday.

They first played at Hillsborough, then called the Owlerton Stadium, on 1 January 1900.

The League Two side make a couple more changes, Clarke Oduor and Darragh Burns are on.

An unconvincing punch from Hakon Valdimarsson in the Brentford goal, with the ball going backwards, but he gets away with it with no Villa man able to pounce.

Chris Richards has come on for Eagles skipper Marc Guehi, although it does not look like the England man had picked up an injury.

Frank Onyeka has a pretty decent throw on him for Brentford, but this time Marco Bizot produces some decisive goalkeeping, coming off his line to punch the ball clear of danger.
