More from Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez, whose side slipped to third in the Championship after the 2-0 defeat by Tuesday's cup opponents Wolves.

"We have watched the game back and have been talking to the staff and players; analysing what was wrong and trying to fix the problems," he says.

"We made technical and tactical mistakes. Now is the time to realise it's not a parade. We have to work hard in every single game."

Newcastle play Wolves for the second time in four days, having lost 2-0 to them at St James' Park in the Championship on Saturday. 

There is an update on Vurnon Anita who was sent off at the weekend. The Press Association's Damian Spellman quotes Benitez as saying the club will appeal against the red card.

As for Tuesday's EFL Cup game, Benitez says: "We will make some changes to keep everyone on their toes. Everyone can help and make a difference. All the players have to be ready."

On Huddersfield topping the Championship, Klopp adds of fellow German David Wagner...

Liverpool travel to Championship side Derby on Tuesday and boss Jurgen Klopp says he watches a lot of the English second tier - at least partly because Huddersfield are managed by his close friend David Wagner... 

What about the team news?

Well, as reported by the Press Association's Carl Markham, Klopp says: "We have only a strong line-up for this game. It is not about resting 100% fit players.  

"Roberto Firmino (below) is in training. He could have played but I was told if we give him three days everything would be perfect. Today is the fourth day.

"Mamadou Sakho is still working toward fitness but it's a big difference to being match fit."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is first out of the blocks...

On the EFL Cup itself, in which Liverpool were the beaten finalists last season, he says: "It makes only sense to have the aim of winning it. We have a real competitive game versus a strong side.

"Being part of a final is only great if you win it. It is not about talking about trophies, it is about getting as close to winning them. It doesn't help to talk about it." 

But they're the champions of England! And hosting Chelsea.

What's going on?

As BBC Northampton hints, it may have something to do with the visit of Manchester United of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday are set to announce the retirement of Jeremy Helan, who plans to quit football at the age of 24 in order to focus on religion.

BBC Radio Sheffield understands the club will confirm that winger Helan, a devout Muslim, is leaving Hillsborough.

The Frenchman has made one appearance for Wednesday this season and 144 in total since arriving from Manchester City in 2012, initially on loan.

Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne has been fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £1,000 in compensation after pleading guilty to racially aggravated abuse because of a "joke" he told during a show.

Gascoigne, 49, made the comment during An Evening With Gazza in Wolverhampton on 30 November 2015.

At Dudley Magistrates' Court, Gascoigne, who lives in Dorset, admitted using "threatening or abusive words or behaviour".

He changed his plea to guilty before the first witness was called.

After Gascoigne's change of plea, District Judge Graham Wilkinson told the court the ex-player had admitted "the sort of insidious racism" that needed to be challenged.

Charlie Austin, who helped Southampton get their first Premier League win under manager Claude Puel, admits he was "frustrated" to have played from the bench against Swansea.

However, he adds: "We've got a great squad here and they're all fighting for places. The manager wants to play a rotation system and he's the boss.

"Strikers are credited on goals. Stats don't lie and, for me, I like to be in the box to score goals. But to be honest I should have scored three."
