"When I was a kid, I used to hang around the car park on match day at Forest getting autographs, I ran up to him one day and he duly obliged. But he then took me to one side and gave me stern warning. He said: "I'm watching you son and you better not nick anything."

Chrissy Waddle, David Hirst, Carlton Palmer, Chris Bart-Williams? Those were the days eh Fin...

Fin, Sheffield: 'Big day out'! Get a grip, Wednesday were smashing the smaller teams like City and Chelsea 20 years ago...

We have League Cup action in Scotland tonight too.

Celtic play Hearts - which you can watch as well - while at New Douglas Park, Hamilton Academical face Motherwell in the first Lanarkshire derby of the season.

And then to top it all off on Tayside, Dundee and Dundee United meet for the second time in four days. United won 4-1 at Dens Park on Sunday.

Like that match, this evening's game at Tannadice is a sell-out.

Follow the action in a Scottish Live page right here.

Chelsea and Bolton have had contrasting seasons so far, with Jose Mourinho's side a Frank Lampard goal away from domestic perfection and Dougie Freedman's Championship side only above the relegation zone on goal difference.

It has been two-and-a-half years since the sides met, and Bolton haven't won at Stamford Bridge since December 2003, when John Terry scored a last-minute own goal.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Mariappa, Hangeland, McCarthy, Fryers, Bannan, Williams, Guedioura, Zaha, Doyle, Gayle. Subs: Ramage, Ward, Johnson, Kelly, Price, KaiKai, Gray.

Sheffield Wednesday will also be roared on by 5,400 fans who have made the short 37-mile trip across the Pennines and City boss Manuel Pellegrini is wary of the threat posed by lower-league sides in their 'big day out'.

Remember (as a wary Pellegrini does) the Blues were dumped out of the last season's FA Cup by Wednesday's Championship cohorts Wigan.

"Every time that we play in this competition when you play against a Championship team it is very difficult. The motivation is not the same and they will come here and try to win," says the Chilean.

Burton Albion: McLaughlin, Edwards, Sharps, Taft, McFadzean, Harness, Weir, Palmer, McGurk, Knowles, Blyth. Subs: Cansdell-Sherriff, Mousinho, Bell, Beavon, Lyness, Slade, Austin.

Brighton: Stockdale, Calderon, Dunk, Hughes, Chicksen, Ince, McCourt, Gardner, LuaLua, O'Grady, Mackail-Smith. Subs: Saltor, Greer, Adrian Colunga, Ankergren, Forster-Caskey, Holla, Toko.

Referee: Darren Bond (Lancashire)

"He did a radio advert for me when I was at Match Weekly. We recorded it at Radio Trent and he said he must be back at the City Ground by 8pm to attend a board meeting. He only had one line listing all the stars contributing to the first issue. I knew his voice would be instantly recognisable on radio but he couldn't get it right. To my horror, I looked at my watch and it was 8.30! "Brian," I said, "it's 8.30 and you're late for the board. "Bugger the board, we'll get this right first" - which he did eventually."

Michael Blighe:, external Spurs making that many changes just shows total disrespect to their opponents. Forest are unbeaten this season, remember!

Dan Cawdell:, external Chelsea's backup cup squad is phenomenal. Good to see Nathan Ake getting a game. One for the future!

We're going to be spreading ourselves across all six of tonight's fixtures with our words, but if you want to concentrate solely on Tottenham and Nottingham Forest then you're also in the right place.

You can listen to every kick from White Hart Lane on BBC Radio 5 live - without going anywhere. Click the live coverage tab at the top of the screen for all the build up and action from 19:00 BST.

You're going to love this Ryan - Andros Townsend is in! Michel Vorm makes his debut in goal for Tottenham as manager Mauricio Pochettino makes just the 11 changes. Roberto Soldado starts up front in a side captained by Aaron Lennon.

Nottingham Forest make nine alterations, with skipper Kelvin Wilson and David Vaughan the only survivors from Saturday's 0-0 draw at Millwall.

Spurs XI: Vorm, Naughton, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Stambouli; Lennon, Paulinho, Townsend; Soldado

Forest XI: De Vries, Fox, Wilson, Lascelles, Harding, McLaughlin, Vaughan, Grant, Osborn, Paterson, Veldwijk

Ata from London: I can't understand why Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain isn't a regular starter for Arsenal. Bright young talent and definite future for English football

Ryan in Exeter: I may be a Chelsea fan but for England's sake I would love to see Andros Townsend getting a bigger chance to regain his form of early last season. He is an incredible talent and England need him! Maybe he could just leave Tottenham

Not only the Premier League big guns use the League Cup to throw in a few fresh legs. Championship side Wednesday also switch things around by making four changes from Saturday's 1-0 home win against Reading. Former England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland is restored between the sticks, while Lewis Buxton, Kamil Zayatte and Gary Madine also start.

Sheffield Wednesday XI: Kirkland, Buxton, Zayatte, Lees, Mattock, Palmer, Coke, Maguire, Maghoma, Madine, May.

Premier League champions Man City are winless in four matches. Championship side Sheffield Wednesday have lost just one of their 10 games. Will that equal a Cupset? Boss Stuart Gray says he will let the Owls loose into the Manchester night in a bid to hunt down their star-studded hosts.

"Very rarely do you get these opportunities so we'll play with a freedom, we'll play relaxed, we'll be composed but one thing we will do is play with 100% commitment as well," he says.

Think of Brian Clough and Forest v Spurs and you'll eventually conjure up images of Stuart Pearce, Gazza and Wembley.

You are in luck, as we have selected Pearce's cracker in the 1991 FA Cup final as our goal of the day.

Enjoy.

NB - Gazza wasn't even booked for that tackle...

Joe in Northumberland: Hatem Ben Arfa not getting a game at Newcastle was an absolute scandal.

Your loss is Hull's gain Joe
