Stoke meanwhile are aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the second successive season; they were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the last eight in 2013-14.

Alfreton Town midfielder Anthony Howell was unable to perform heroics as an emergency goalkeeper as the Conference side lost 5-1 at Lincoln in the FA Cup.

The Reds only had 11 fit players for Tuesday's fourth-qualifying round replay at Sincil Bank and a keeper crisis meant Howell started in goal.

"It was a good experience," Howell told BBC Radio Derby. "But five goals and losing kind of dampens it. I will never take the mick out of a keeper again - it's a hard job."

The race is on for Marco Reus's signature, according to the Daily Express., external

King, who turned 26 today, said:, external "I'm absolutely buzzing. To have come so far with the Club and to be playing in the Premier League now is a dream come true.

Man City v Newcastle (19:45)

Stoke v Southampton (19:45)

Tottenham v Brighton (19:45)

Let's hear from Andy Murray, who has been speaking to Sky Sports: "I was hitting the ball well. The conditions are very different from Valencia last week, it's playing faster, the points are quicker. In the second set, I didn't serve so well and let him into the match a little bit, but apart from that period I was very good.

"If I get to London, I'll be very pleased because I've worked very hard these last two weeks and won some tough matches."

Now Andy Murray has eased into the third round at the Paris Masters, we will focus our attentions back to the League Cup and tonight's fourth round matches.

Manchester City, Tottenham, Stoke and Southampton are among those in action as they look to reach the quarter-final.

Stay tuned for plenty of team news, stats and the best from social media, plus all the breaking news from elsewhere in sport.

So that victory means that Andy Murray is just one match away from definitely booking his place at the World Tour Finals at the O2 in London next month. Next up, he will face the winner of Grigor Dimitrov's match against Pablo Cuevas.

Remember though, even if Murray does lose that match, it would still take an improbable sequence of results to deny him a place in London.

The Scot is in such fine form that a good run in Paris isn't out of the question - although he could run into new dad Novak Djokovic in the quarters.

"Murray is not known for his qualities as a front runner but he got out early, didn't miss a ball in the first 20 minutes and was well ahead. Even though he showed weariness in the second set he had broken Benneteau's spirit and quietened the crowd."

Murray to serve it out then. Big miss from Benneteau in the first point, he had a chance but can't convert with the court open. That's a as close as he gets. Benneteau sends a curling forehand wide and a big serve from Murray earns the Scot three match points. Murray finishes off with a big one-two serve and forehand combo. Murray wins. An excellent, clinical performance from the British number one, who is carrying a lot of form into the World Tour Finals.

Ross McD:, external The permutations for Murray not reaching the Tour Finals even if he loses today are highly, highly unlikely. He's there.

George MacMillan:, external Think Andy should try and take this match and the next and then relax until the year end finals.

Well he has taken done half of that George. One down one to go.

Murray is still seeing the ball so early here, getting even Benneteau's best first serves back into play, and making it very difficult for the home favourite. Benneteau is not giving this one up though - he finishes off with a big swooping forehand and finally a serve which beats Murray.
