  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:23 British Summer Time

    There's an intruder on the pitch at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.

    Not sure what he was trying to accomplish but a Leicester fan evades the stewards, only to run right into big Walsall defender David Okagbue, who, let's say, didn't exactly move out of the way.

    Only one winner there. But we are still no closer to knowing which of these teams will be the winner tonight - although Leicester have brought on Jordan Ayew in a statement of intent.

    Walsall 0-0 Leicester City

    Walsall are continuing to frustrate Leicester. Abdul Fatawu has had two chances for the Premier League side, but hit the side netting with the first effort and flashed the second one just past the post.

    Seventy-five minutes gone, if it's level at 90 minutes then it's penalties.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:20 British Summer Time

    Man City 2-0 Watford

    Both sides are going to make some more changes.

    Kwadwo Baah and Festy Ebosele make way for Matty Pollock and Rocco Vata.

    Kaden Braithwaite is replaced by Josko Gvardiol for Manchester City. A solid debut for the 16-year-old.

    GOAL - Chelsea 5-0 Barrowpublished at 21:17 British Summer Time

    Christopher Nkunku (75 mins, hat-trick)

    Five for Chelsea and a disaster for Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman.

    The ball is played back to him, but he is quickly closed down by Christopher Nkunku, who is too strong for Farman, steals the ball from him and slots into an unguarded goal.

    That's a hat-trick for Nkunku and that's his last action as he is replaced shortly afterwards.

    Delighted for Buendia. Great way to mark your first start following injury and as captain.

    Wycombe 0-1 Aston Villa

    Joe Jacobson
    Former Wycombe Wanderers captain on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's a hard one because Kaden Young has got down the wing and the ball pops up to Buendia and he's falling backwards.

    I just hope it doesn't cause Wycombe to sit back now and lose confidence in what they were doing.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:16 British Summer Time

    Man City 2-0 Watford

    Manchester City are probing for that third goal but it just isn't coming at the moment.

    Savinho goes close after a driving run into the area and Matheus Nunes has a chance to get his second of the night.

    Pep Guardiola decides to make a change. On comes another youngster, Jacob Wright, for Nico O'Reilly.

  9. Postpublished at 21:16 British Summer Time

    Chelsea 4-0 Barrow

    A chance for 18-year-old Tyrique George to score his first senior goal for Chelsea after being played in by Christopher Nkunku, but the teenager can't steer his strike on goal, side-footing it wide instead.

  10. 'What a header'published at 21:15 British Summer Time

    Wycombe 0-1 Aston Villa

    Glenn Murray
    Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Buendia is one of the smaller men on the pitch and you won't see a better header. The direction is perfect. It wouldn't have gone in the net any other way. It had to be up high, in the corner.

    I said in the first half, get the ball to Kaden Young. He has got the beating of that full-back. He gets the cross in and Buendia finishes it. What a header.

  11. goal

    GOAL - Wycombe 0-1 Aston Villapublished at 21:12 British Summer Time

    Emi Buendia (55 mins)

    Well Wycombe have held their own and it requires a brilliant header from Emi Buendia to finally break the deadlock.

    Brilliant play down the left-hand side from Kadan Young, he fires across the box and it's deflected up into the air for Buendia to leap and send a looping header into the back of the net.

    Difficult header to execute but a good finish.

    Chelsea 4-0 Barrow

    Another shot for Barrow, again from a free-kick from Kian Spence, but Filip Jorgensen opts to punch it away when he probably could've caught it.

    Would love to see Chilwell play his way back into the team for Chelsea. On his day, he’s such a silky left-back, and overall a great attitude. Captain’s armband is hopefully a glimmer of hope at the end of a bleak tunnel.

    Matt Bloomfield's team talk would have been 'more of the same' but don't get complacent.

    Keep putting Aston Villa under pressure and winning the second balls. It might be ugly at times but if that's the way to win, that's the way to win.

  15. This has turned into a coaching exercise for Enzo Marescapublished at 21:09 British Summer Time

    Chelsea 4-0 Barrow

    Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is now shouting at his front line to press in the exact way he wants and produce the patterns of play he expects when attacking.

    The Italian has reacted with frustration and anger at some of his forwards.

    But will broadly be happy about the performance as a whole as he tries to demand high standards from his second string in what is effectively now a coaching exercise.

    Academy youngsters Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong, both 18, are now on the pitch facing Barrow but it has taken over 60 minutes for anyone from the academy to play as Chelsea have to spread minutes around such a deep squad of senior professionals.

  16. Postpublished at 21:09 British Summer Time

    Man City 2-0 Watford

    Goodness me! Manchester City get straight up to the other end after that Watford attack.

    The ball is pinging around and Matheus Nunes sees his effort saved before Rico Lewis' effort is blocked in a crowded penalty box. It comes back to Nunes and his powerful shot is bravely cleared off the line by Tom Ince.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time

    Chelsea 4-0 Barrow

    Changes for Chelsea, with a chance for two youngsters to show their skills as Tyrique George, an 18-year-old winger, and Josh Acheampong, an 18-year-old defender, both come on for the last half hour.

    Goalscorer Pedro Neto off, so too Axel Disasi.

    A poignant moment on the hour mark in the West Midlands as each set of supporters join in a minute’s applause for Craig Shakespeare - a popular figure at both clubs - who died in August, aged 60.

    Shakespeare began his playing career at Walsall and was part of the side that reached the League Cup semi-finals in 1984, the Saddlers' best-ever run in the competition.

    Then, of course, famously, as a coach, he helped Leicester win the Premier League in 2016 under Claudio Ranieri.

    Man City 2-0 Watford

    Imran Louza has space and time on the edge of the area with a clear sight of goal but he drags his shot wide of the near post. Big chance for the visitors.

    "Cooper, sort it out, Cooper, Cooper, sort it out."

    Leicester's travelling support unhappy with what they're witnessing - and you can't blame them.

    Their League Two hosts - 56 places below the Foxes in the pyramid - have bossed the opening few minutes of the second half.
