Have to say as a Liverpool fan I really don't mind going out of the league cup this evening. We have won this cup twice in last 3 years and do not need 2 more games in January.

Newcastle 1-0 Brentford
Toon defender Fabian Schar hacks down Fabio Carvalho and gets the first yellow card of the game.

Chris Waddle
Former Newcastle & England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live
Thomas Frank wanted to make changes tonight and that's backfired on him in the first 20 minutes. Looks like two muscle injuries and those players may now miss the Christmas period.
Arsenal 0-1 Crystal Palace
Image source, PA MediaOoh that's not far off!
Raheem Sterling lifts the free-kick over the wall and it looks to be dipping under the bar before Dean Henderson pushes it over.
Southampton 0-0 Liverpool
Liverpool boss Arne Slot, who is serving a touchline ban, is watching this from the press box!

Under way at St Mary's where holders Liverpool are looking to reach the semi-finals at the expense of managerless Southampton.
Newcastle 1-0 Brentford
Image source, Getty ImagesWhen the Brentford team was announced tonight, Mads Roerslev would have needed two centre-backs to get injured to get a game.
He's on the pitch after 14 minutes.
Ethan Pinnock hobbles off, with Sepp van den Berg injured in the warm-up we think.
Arsenal 0-1 Crystal Palace
Gabriel Jesus is fouled by Maxence Lacroix on the edge of the box and this is a really good chance for Arsenal to equalise.
Newcastle 1-0 Brentford

If there was VAR in use then I think Brentford might get that decision. Yoane Wissa goes past the keeper and as he turns I think Martin Dubravka catches his foot. It would have been harsh but we have seen them given.
Newcastle 1-0 Brentford
Ethan Pinnock goes down and needs treatment. Could this be Brentford's second centre-back to be injured in the past hour or so?
Newcastle 1-0 Brentford
Kevin Schade picks out Yoane Wissa in the box. The Brentford forward tries to go round Martin Dubravka. The keeper gets a touch on the ball and Wissa throws himself to the ground. No penalty.

The Italian dreamboat strikes again!!

Image source, PA MediaThat is a quality strike from Sandro Tonali. It comes to him with a lot of pace and his technique is fantastic. The goalkeeper is not saving that in a million years.
Southampton v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
Trey Nyoni will be wearing the number 98 shirt on his first senior start for Liverpool but the 17-year-old has been warming up in Andy Robertson's number 26 training top on the pitch.
Robertson is not involved tonight as he is serving a one-match ban.
It's absolutely chucking it down on the south coast where the home side are about to begin life after Russell Martin.
Sandro Tonali (9 mins)
Image source, ReutersWhat a hit!
Nathan Collins blindly clears Tino Livramento's cross and it comes out to Sandro Tonali, who strikes the ball perfectly from about 20 yards out and it flies into the back of the net.

Arsenal need Isak. £100million for Declan Rice suggests where there is a need and opportunity for the right player, they will get them in. So money should not be a barrier. The investment will pay dividends as it will result in years of dominance.

Southampton v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
Liverpool manager Arne Slot speaking to Sky Sports: "The players have played many, many minutes and some of them are not even with us for this game. The ones that have not played much, this is ideal for them to play the 90 minutes.
"The players know what to do but they will face a strong Southampton side. They start with almost all their starters. We know how difficult it was playing them with all our starters. It's going to be a challenge. But in the quarter-finals in the cup, you must expect a tough challenge."

I still think Mateta is an underrated striker. You just never expect him to miss

Southampton v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
Southampton interim manager Simon Rusk speaking to Sky Sports: "It's been a quick turnaround from Sunday. But we are confident and looking forward to it. It's looking at our last few games and retaining what we have been doing well. We have to make sure we have the solidity to the team and that's important."
On Liverpool: "It's Liverpool and we know they will have quality but we are looking for opportunities within it. If we get the balance of the game right, I think we will have chances to create problems. It's an opportunity for us to do well and make it catalyst for the season."
