Excellent work from former Burton man Jacques Maghoma down the left for Sheffield Wednesday, he beats one man and puts in a dangerous cross but a team-mate can't steer it in.

John New: , externalAny guesses on how to pronounce the sixth name on the list of Man City substitutes?

You mean you don't know how to pronounce Sinan Bytyqi?!

Quiet start at Eastlands, with the 5,400 Owls fans raising the tempo off the field.

Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade has resigned so he can take over at Championship club Cardiff.

Nine days ago, he told BBC London 94.9 that he was one game from the sack - and now he's set to move up a division. Crazy stuff.

Good start for Chelsea as Andre Schurrle sees his stinging free-kick turned around the post by Bolton keeper Andy Lonergan. Lonergan could be busy tonight.

Great noise from the 3,000 travelling Forest fans as Tottenham dominate the early possession. Will we see and hear those travelling fans in the Premier League again next season?

We are under way at White Hart Lane, the Etihad and the Pirelli Stadium. And Stamford Bridge.

Full grey suit and a waistcoat - Stuart Pearce looks smarter than most grooms these days. Psycho looks pumped up...

Burnley defender Steven Reid: "Whoever Manuel Pellegrini picked meant it was going to be a strong Man City side because of the quality in their squad. But Sheffield Wednesday can go into the game and have a go because they have got nothing to lose. Man City have shown that they can concede goals and have also lost to lower league opposition."

"I played at Middlesbrough when we won the Carling Cup. It got us into Europe, we signed great players off the back of it. You can't dismiss the competition until you've won it. It's a trophy."

You can say what you like about Nottingham Forest, but they've got the best refrigeration and air conditioning sponsor in the league. The players are in the tunnel, Star Wars music being played at White Hart Lane - here we go!

Chris Tall-Palace, London: Good to see Nathan Ake getting a game, but hasn't he been 'one for the future for quite a while now..?'

Matt on a train home and hoping for an Owls upset!: Nice choice for goal of the day, with Steve Hodge dragging the Spurs player down on the end of the wall so Pearce's shot was not blocked!

Lee, Sheffield: Had a sneaking feeling Wednesday might cause an upset tonight, then I saw the City starting line up. Gulp.

Just 10 minutes or so until kick-off at a slowly filling White Hart Lane. Is this an unwanted distraction for Stuart Pearce's visitors as they aim for promotion back into the top flight? Or would a win tonight breed confidence at the City Ground?

Matthew Davison:, external Chelsea's cup team could finish in the top four in most leagues

Dave Plummer:, external Don't think that Spurs side is disrespectful. Most of them should be the 1st eleven!

Mo Owais:, external Nastasic not even making bench for city even though he is of the best young defenders in the game. Sad he is being forced out.

We asked for your League Cup match reports to help us celebrate 40 years since the introduction of Ceefax - and almost 500 of you had sent them through to us by Wednesday morning.

The reports were of a very high standard - suggesting that many of you have an excellent grasp of the tricky business of telling the story of a football match in 80 words.

You can see some of the chosen few here.

I don't imagine Yaya Toure expected to be starting tonight. Does he need a decent display to silence his critics?
