    We asked for your thoughts on Robbie Savage's claims that Manchester United's team against Sunderland was the worst in the Premier League era.

    Stephen Shaw:, external Worst United ever? Slightly unfair on De Gea. That's all though.

    Matt Bennett:, external What does Savage know ? He would make any 'Worst XI' in Premier League history.

    Woof The Woof:, external The more United spend and the worse they get, the funnier the whole farce becomes!

    It was goals galore in the first round of the Capital One Cup as 110 goals were scored over 35 games.

    Those included a 6-6 thriller between Dagenham and Brentford, with the latter winning on penalties. Will tonight's ties be able to match up?

    BBC Sport's Chris Osborne at stadiummk: "Plenty of Asian press here and they're pretty pleased to see Shinji Kagawa start for Manchester United. The first appearance of the season for Jonny Evans after a leg injury is welcome news to Louis van Gaal, who has defensive problems.

    "MK Dons have named a side you'd expect to see from them every weekend. Highly-rated teenage midfielder Deli Alli starts, while on-loan Arsenal striker Benik Afobe is on the bench."

    "(Louis van Gaal) seems to want to go 3-5-2 even though it isn't the only option left to him. (Angel di Maria) will play in the three central - to the left - not as a full-back.

    "I understand United's central defence and central midfield have been problem but there are certain question marks that aren't fitting just yet. United still haven't really got the players you want to take you where you want to go. Will Di Maria address that problem? They need two or three others."

    MK Dons

    The Manchester United and MK Dons players are out on the pitch and going through their warm-ups, while the stands are filling up nicely.

    It will be historic day for MK Dons, with the club set for its largest home crowd in its 11-year history. A record 29,000 is expected to descend on stadiummk, with supporters having queued around the ground during the early hours of Tuesday morning to buy tickets.

    "A game like Man United brings out an awful lot of people that maybe sat on the fence before," said MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman. "I think people will be amazed at the potential that Milton Keynes has."

    BBC Sport's Chris Osborne at stadiummk: "So missing out on Champions League football was kind of a big deal for Manchester United this season. But the fact that this is the first time in 19 years that United have entered the League Cup as early as the second round is also a reflection of their failures last season. It didn't end well on that occasion either - they were beaten 4-3 on aggregate by minnows York City.

    "MK Dons hope to play the role of the Minstermen this time around. There has been a buzz around the town ever since the draw. stadiummk will be sold out for the first time - about 28,000 are expected - and it is undoubtedly the biggest match in the club's 11-year history."

    There are 50 teams in the second round of the League Cup - 13 from the Premier League, 19 from the Championship, 13 from League One and five from League Two.

    Seven teams beat higher-league opposition to reach the second round. Those were Scunthorpe United, Oxford United, Burton Albion, Crawley Town, Portsmouth, Shrewsbury Town and Northampton Town.

    The 6-6 draw between Dagenham and Brentford in the first round was the joint-highest scoring game in League Cup history.
