    Grimsby deserve to win this. As a united fan this will hopefully be the shake up we need!

  2. 'Gardner just offside'published at 21:31 British Summer Time

    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at Blundell Park

    The flag did go up early but on his left foot Gardner fed it into the far corner. He was just in an offside position when the ball was slid through but it came off a Manchester United player though didn't it?

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time

    Fulham 2-0 Bristol City

    A final Fulham change with Emile Smith Rowe being replaced by Sasa Lukic.

    Smith Rowe still yet to complete 90 minutes in a Fulham shirt.

    This United team is so disjointed. They don't run for each other. They don't give each other options. They don't double up closing down. It feels like every individual on the ball is expected to pace out a bit, show individual strength, then just a long-ish ball to the next individual doing the same thing. They do not cohere in the slightest.

    Gardner has been a good focal point for Grimsby. They are still really being positive in their approach to this game.

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time

    Grimsby 2-0 Man Utd

    Oooh that looks tight.

    A pass bounces kindly off Harry Maguire for Cameron Gardner, who tucks a shot into the back of the net, but the flag is up for offside.

    Replays suggest it was very close.

  7. goal

    GOAL - Oxford 0-6 Brightonpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time

    Tom Watson

    Another fantastic finish for a Brighton debutant.

    Substitute Tom Watson curls a finish into the far corner and the Seagulls have six.

    Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    The ball breaks for Beto on the edge of the box and he has the chance to put the game to bed but his strike is far from convincing and Liam Roberts gathers.

    Think a waterlogged pitch is United’s best hope

    Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    Long ball through for Beto. He controls well on his chest but the rest doesn't quite go to plan as he takes too long and has the ball nicked off him.

    Chris Sutton

    To a man Grimsby have defended superbly. Sweeney and Warren have attacked crosses well and not given Sesko any room in the six yard box.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:25 British Summer Time

    Grimsby 2-0 Man Utd

    Two changes for Grimsby now as Geza David Turi and Henry Brown are on for Kieran Green and Charles Vernam.

    Grimsby are just over 20 minutes away from a huge upset.

    Fulham 2-0 Bristol City

    Disappointing not to have seen Bristol City really go for this one as we enter the final 10 minutes.

    Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    Luke Bolton drives inside on his right foot and lets fly. His effort is flying towards the top corner but James Tarkowski gets his head in the way.

    Great block!

    Oxford 0-5 Brighton

    Oxford have three really good chances to get a consolation but the first two are denied by Jason Steele before a third shot is cleared off the line.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:22 British Summer Time

    Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    Captain Louis Reed's night is over as he comes off holding his groin. He's replaced by George Maris.

  17. 'Smart goalkeeping'published at 21:22 British Summer Time

    Grimsby Town 2-0 Man Utd

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at Blundell Park

    What a save this is from Pym. Flings himself to his left. Not only that, he got up quickly to prevent a rebound with a few United players in close attendance. Really smart goalkeeping.

  18. Postpublished at 21:22 British Summer Time

    Fulham 2-0 Bristol City

    Anis Mehmeti sends a flat free-kick into the Fulham box. It's flicked on to the far post but no Bristol City player is following in.

    So Utd need to score 3 goals and they start the 2nd half with 3 centre backs on the pitch... I just don't get it!!! Anyone?!

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:21 British Summer Time

    Grimsby 2-0 Man Utd

    Bruno Fernandes has a pop from distance and the ball skids along the wet surface but Christy Pym does really well to dive across and save.
