    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Grimsby Town 2-0 Man Utd

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

    United have to get the next goal first and foremost and then try to build momentum. Also they need to hope that Grimsby's intensity levels drop, they've been excellent for 55-60 minutes.
