It is a lip-smacker of a draw for sure.

Looking forward to it already.

That is it though for tonight - an evening on which Celtic spiraled out of the Champions League qualifiers and Watford fell victim to Preston in the Capital One Cup.

See you around the bend.

Capital One Cup draw

Meanwhile Aston Villa midfielder Gary Gardner, on loan at Nottingham Forest, is relishing the renewal of second-city rivalries.

Capital One Cup draw

Arsenal have been drawn to play arch rivals Tottenham in the third round and it seems Gunners midfielder Aaron Ramsey is up for the challenge...

Third round

And there is a tasty supporting cast of matches to those two enormous local grudge matches.

League One Walsall roll out the red carpet for Jose and his Chelsea Premier League champions, while League Two Carlisle have a trip to Anfield to mark down in the calendar.

Manchester United could have got easier opposition than Championship leaders Ipswich as well.

Reaction

Stoke manager Mark Hughes speaking to Sky Sports: 

"We didn't expect it to got to penalties. We should be good enough to see the game out but we switched off, gave them one chance and they took it to extra time. Credit to them. 

"You always worry when it goes to penalties but that was one of the better penalty competitions I have seen. We will get better. The order of the day was to get through and we have done that."

Third round

Well, well, well.

Derby central.

Tottenham and Arsenal meet in a north London dust-up and Aston Villa and Birmingham clash at Villa Park.

Peter Enckelman? Danny Rose? Who is about to write their name in local history?

These matches will be played on the week commencing 21 September.

Right, let's see what the third round is going to look like...

Stoke striker Jonathan Walters speaking to Sky Sports:  "You feel for the lad because it a pressure situation and Luton have equipped themselves well tonight. We wish them all the best for the rest of this season."

Walters refused to be drawn on speculation linking him with a move to Norwich. The 31-year-old's current contract expires at the end of this season.

Penalties

The second game of the night goes to spot-kicks as the game between West Brom and Port Vale at The Hawthorns ends goalless.

Will it pay off? Let's find out...

FULL-TIME Burton 1-2 Middlesbrough

Cristhian Stuani's first two Middlesbrough goals are enough to see off Burton and send the visitors through to the next round. A brave effort from Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's League One side tonight.

FULL-TIME - Doncaster 1-4 Ipswich

David McGoldrick came to life in injury-time for the Tractor Boys as he scored one and assisted their other two goals after the 90 minutes finished 1-1. Mick McCarthy's side remain unbeaten, winning their last five games.

Luton boss John Still ushers his players back into the middle of the pitch to pick his five takers and issue some calming words.

FULL-TIME - Luton Town 1-1 Stoke City AET

PA

We are indeed heading to penalties at Kenilworth Road. Fair play to the League Two side for holding Stoke over 120 minutes.

Stoke with a late free-kick. This could be their last roll of the dice. Erik Pieters to take it. A deep delivery, Mame Biram Diouf up for it at the far post, but he has used his hand to try and divert it home.

A yellow card. And surely penalties to decide this one...

GOAL - Aston Villa 5-3 Notts County

That is the end of that. Villa have survived a scare. Young Joe Bennett is allowed to charge to the edge of the box before firing a low shot into the far corner of the net.

Analysis

David Pleat

BBC Radio 5 live at Kenilworth Road

Some players appear to have no fuel in the tank and are playing on instinct.

GOAL - Doncaster 1-4 Ipswich

That should just about be that for the early Championship leaders. David McGoldrick again involved, this time he sets up Ryan Fraser to finish into the bottom corner.

Extra-time update

It looks like bigger teams are starting to make their status count in four of the seven ties to go to extra-time. Aston Villa lead Notts County 4-3, Crystal Palace are 4-1 up against Shrewsbury, Middlesbrough are 2-1 ahead at Burton and Ipswich lead 2-1 over Doncaster.

MK Dons are 2-1 up against Cardiff in their all-Championship clash.

Happy days former Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo. His goal has helped Valencia to a 4-3 aggregate win over Monaco in the Champions League play-offs.

Valencia's success, combined with Sevilla's qualification via last season's Europa League triumph, means that Spain become the first country to have five teams in the Champions League group stages.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are also in the hat for Thursday's draw.

Luton are playing with a real cup mentality now as they sense they can win this game. They are playing really well at the moment.

It might be worth Roy Hodgson getting his beach towel down early when it comes to Leicester striker Joe Dodoo after his hat-trick tonight.

The 20-year-old has previously represented England under-18s, but still qualifies for Ghana, via both his parents.

Analysis

David Pleat

BBC Radio 5 live at Kenilworth Road

I was going to talk about the professionalism of Stoke and that Luton boss John Still could be proud of his side before the Hatters equalised but now we have another game.

GOAL Swansea 3-0 York

Reuters

Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey picks out Marvin Emnes, who fires past York keeper Scott Flinders to seal a comfortable victory for the Premier League side.

GOAL - Bury 1-4 Leicester

A night to remember for youngster Joe Dodoo, who slots home to complete a hat-trick on his Leicester City debut and condemn League One Bury to defeat.

GOAL - Luton Town 1-1 Stoke City

PA

Hold the back page, this one isn't over yet! Luton have levelled in stoppage time and it is Cameron McGeehan who tucks in at the far post after a dangerous cross from the left. Kenilworth Road erupts! The League Two side have pegged back big-spending Stoke. Game on.

Cupset update

Three of the 11 Premier League clubs in action tonight are in precarious positions.

Crystal Palace are being held by Shrewsbury, Aston Villa are at 3-3 with Notts County and 10-man Watford are 1-0 behind to preston as we reach the final stages of the 19:45 kick-offs.

GOAL - Bury 1-3 Leicester

An impressive full debt for Joe Dodoo, as the 19-year-old scores his second of the night with a low finish. That will probably finish League One side Bury's hopes of a comeback.

GOAL - Walsall 2-1 Brighton

PA

League One side Walsall have edged against second-tier Brighton & Hove Albion with four minutes remaining, left-back Rico Henry firing the Saddlers towards the third round of the League Cup.

GOAL Sunderland 6-3 Exeter

Getty Images

Sunderland are surely home and dry. Jermain Defoe completes his hat-trick, slotting home Sebastian Larsson's inviting cross from close range. 

GOAL - Portsmouth 1-2 Reading

Some fine play from Reading is rewarded as Danny Williams blocked shot is latched onto by Adam McCleary who rifles the ball into the net from close range. The Championship side have come from behind and Pompey's hopes of an upset might have gone up in smoke.

Getty Images

By the looks of it, Dick Advocaat might have wished he had taken his wife's initial advice in the summer and left the Stadium of Light on a relegation escape-job high.

His side are going to win tonight, but they have made a right old meal of it.

Newcastle 4-1 Northampton

Striker Ivan Toney makes his Newcastle debut by coming on for Massadio Haidara against the club he left earlier on this summer in order to move to St James's Park. 

GOAL - Rotherham 1-2 Norwich

Rotherham have found a way back into this but they have not left themselves long if they are to upset their Premier League opposition. Paul Green puts the Millers back in it with a beautiful volley from the edge of the Norwich box.

PA

Ryan Hall and Cameron McGeehan wallop shots goalwards in quick succession but Shay Given is equal to both.

Stoke are hanging on, but Luton are not going to die wondering.

Eight minutes of normal time remain.

GOAL - Aston Villa 3-3 Notts County

Controversy! Kieran Richardson charges into the box and is sent tumbling to the floor and the referee points to the spot. The County players are furious. They think he went down way too easily. Scott Sinclair steps up and smashes the ball into the net. Keeper got a hand but couldn't keep it out. This superb game takes another twist.

GOAL - MK Dons 1-1 Cardiff

Game on in Milton Keynes, as Carl Baker smashes in a simple rebound to equalise for the home side.

GOAL - QPR 1-2 Carlisle

Carlisle United may be without a win in League Two this season, but there certainly doing the business at Loftus Road this evening.

Derek Asamoah's low cross is tapped in by Jason Kennedy from a yard or so out to leave Championship side QPR in danger with around 10 minutes left.

Analysis

David Pleat

BBC Radio 5 live at Kenilworth Road

Luton have to push forward. At the moment they are allowing Stoke to play the ball in their own half. They have to press the game and force the issue. It is still possible.

GOAL - Peterborough 0-3 Charlton

That is a stunning, long-range goal from Ahmed Kashi, and this is a solid performance from the Championship outfit, who are heading safely through to Round Three.

GOAL - Wolves 2-1 Barnet

Is there an unlikely comeback on the cards at Molineux? League Two Barnet have bagged themselves a goal and it's game on in the Black Country. Elliot Johnson crossed into the Wolves box, John Akinde flicked on and Bira Dembele was on hand to tap the ball home from close range. The Bees will be hoping to provide some sting to Kenny Jackett's side in the final stages.

GOAL - Fulham 2-0 Sheffield Utd

Sheffield United were semi-finalists last season but they are heading out of the competition now. Ross McCormack gets his second of the night following a well worked passing move.

RED CARD - Watford's Miguel Britos

Big, big problems now for Watford. They are down to 10 men after Miguel Britos is shown a red card on his debut. There is confusion over what it is for as the referee called the player over following a coming together in the box. It appears as though the official is suggesting there was an elbow.

GOAL Sunderland 5-3 Exeter

Getty Images

Sunderland Duncan Watmore celebrates his call up to the England Under-21 squad as he beats Exeter keeper Bobby Olejnik to the ball and rolls into an empty net. It's hard to see a way back for the Grecians now.

Extra-time looming

Nobody is going home until we sort this out.

So, with 15 minutes or so to go, which matches are heading into extra-time?

Burton v Middlesbrough

Portsmouth v Reading 

Palace v Shrewsbury

Doncaster v Ipswich 

QPR v Carlisle

Walsall v Brighton

and West Brom v Port Vale are all going long as it stands.

GOAL - Birmingham City 2-0 Gillingham

Is that job done for the 2011 winners of this competition?

Wes Thomas scores his second of the night, from another corner, and the Championship side are in command.

Swansea 2-0 York

There may be a few potential upsets knocking around tonight - but it doesn't look like one of those will be coming in South Wales.

Swansea City midfielder Matt Grimes's goal has the Premier League side 2-0 up on League Two York City.

MISSED PENALTY Walsall 1-1 Brighton

Brighton's Chris O'Grady is fouled in the box, but he blazes his penalty over the bar. The forward won't get chance to atone for his error as he's substituted moments later.

Newcastle 4-1 Nothampton

GOAL - Rotherham 0-2 Norwich

PA

Who'd have predicted that one, eh? Ricky Van Wolfswinkel comes out of the wilderness as he latches on to Andre Wisdom's cross and fire home from close range. The Premier League side 2-0 up in Yorkshire, can Rotherham find the breakthrough they need?

GOAL - Burton 1-1 Middlesbrough

Championship Middlesbrough are level against League One Burton Albion, as Christian Stuani converts right-wing Tomas Kalas's cross with 20 minutes left.

Analysis

David Pleat

BBC Radio 5 live at Kenilworth Road

Luton have had the benefit of the offside flag three times in the second half but they were caught out for the goal. There is a danger for Luton that Stoke will make them chase the ball and hold on to possession.

GOAL - Hartlepool 0-4 Bournemouth

PA

If it wasn't already, this game is over now for sure, as Junior Stanislas nets his second of the night to make it four for the Premier League side.

Twenty-five minutes or so to go in the 19:45 BST kick-offs.

Aston Villa still trail Notts County. That is the biggest shock as it stands. 

Although Palace are still being held by Shrewsbury.

PA

League Two Luton's resistance is broken as Stoke finally get their breakthrough at Kenilworth Road.Jonathan Walters lobs the goalkeeper after a neat through ball from Stephen Ireland.

GOAL - Portsmouth 1-1 Reading

Reading restore parity when Nick Blackman steps in from the right and breaks through the Pompey back line to fire the ball past home keeper Paul Jones. The Championship side level the tie but can Portsmouth force an upset?

Aston Villa 2-3 Notts County

Villa boss Tim Sherwood's answer to his side falling behind for a third time to Notts County is to bring on Joe Cole (remember him) for Adama Traore. Can Cole rescue the Premier League outfit against the League Two side?

GOAL - Fulham 1-0 Sheffield Utd

After being fouled while attempting an overhead kick in the area, Ross McCormack dusts himself down to slot in from the penalty spot to take the lead against the League One side.

Stoke make a switch, replacing Peter Crouch with £5.75m summer signing Joselu up front.

Luton are still game for this though. The Hatters are giving as good as they are getting and the outcome is anyone's guess...

GOAL Sunderland 4-3 Exetet

Reuters

After a more sedate start to the second half at the Stadium of Light, Jack Rodwell restores Sunderland's lead with a powerful header from Sebastian Larsson's corner. 

GOAL - Newcastle 4-1 Northampton

Florian Thauvin has been the star of the show at St James' Park tonight, that's for sure.

The 22-year-old Frenchman crosses for Mike Williamson to thump in a header at the far-post.

Thauvin has had a hand in all four Newcastle goals.

Analysis

Every time you see Dick Advocaat on the touchline it looks like he is suffering from a worsening case of indigestion.

GOAL - Doncaster 1-1 Ipswich

Championship leaders Ipswich were always going to score given they've netted two goals in each of their five games so far this season. Brett Pitman takes advantage of some poor defending in the area to draw the Tractor Boys level.

GOAL - Aston Villa 2-3 Notts County

PA

Would you believe this?! Notts County just won't be denied by their Premier League opponents. They take the lead for a third time as former Villa striker Graham Burke curls a wonderful shot into the far corner of the net from 25 yards. What a goal! What a game!

Celtic on the brink

Scenes.

Malmo's half-time substitute Felipe Carvalho heads goalwards and Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata bundles the ball into his own net. Malmo lead 4-3 on aggregate.

The crowd go ripe bananas, the whole stadium is rocking.

Celtic need two goals now. One is not enough to take this to extra time.

Live text just over here.

GOAL Wolves 2-0 Barnet

Sheyi Ojo collects Adam Le Fondre's pass and curls a left-footed effort into the corner of the goal. Barnet have it all to do now.

GOAL - MK Dons 0-1 Cardiff

Alex Revell has put Cardiff City ahead at MK Dons in the battle of the two Championship sides, volleying home nine minutes after the interval.

GOAL - Peterborough 0-2 Charlton

Championship side Charlton look set to continue their impressive start to the season as they double their lead over Posh. Debutant Mikhail Kennedy, who opened the scoring early on, is fouled in the box and Karlan Ahearne-Grant steps up to send the goalkeeper the wrong way from the spot.

Analysis

BBC Radio 5 live at Kenilworth Road

Luton had a great chance on the break, which came from a Stoke corner, but they couldn't quite get it right. The pace hasn't slackened from the Luton point of view as they are playing with a lot of enthusiasm.

GOAL Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Oxford United

The hosts make the breakthrough ten minutes after the restart as Oxford fail to clear a cross and Atdhe Nuhiu is on hand to nod home from close range. Oxford are up against it, now. Can the League Two side turn it around?

GOAL - Newcastle 3-1 Northampton

Newcastle's two-goal lead against League Two Northampton has been restored, and full debutant Florian Thauvin is again involved.

He crosses for Daryl Janmaat to slide the Magpies 3-1 ahead.

PA

Villa fans are so grateful for Jack Grealish right now. He made their first equaliser and now he has set up their second with another superb run and low cross for Scott Sinclair to tap into an empty net.

GOAL - Bury 1-2 Leicester

Game on at Gigg Lane? Danny Mayor's rasping right-footed shot from just inside the area gets the League One side back into it against Premier League Leicester City.

Goals aplenty in the Capital One Cup. What Celtic would give for one.

The Scottish champions are teetering on the brink of the Champions League exit. They trail Malmo by a goal to nil in Sweden and are going out on away goals as it stands.

League Cup second round

The 23 games so far have yielded 32 goals. Let's see what the rest of the evening holds with the second halves in 22 of the matches under way...

Cupsets brewing

Half-time whistles sounding around the country, so let's have a look where there are some cupsets brewing. There are plenty.

League Two Notts County are 2-1 up on Premier League Aston Villa as Watford trail Championship Preston by a goal to nil.

Elsewhere Crystal Palace are being held 1-1 by Shrewsbury while Sunderland are also looking shaky - sharing six goals equally with Exeter in an action-packed first half. 

Rotherham 0-1 Norwich

What's more shocking - Ricky van Wolfswinkel playing for Norwich for the first time since April 2014 or the Carrow Road side's kit?

Sunderland 3-3 Exeter

Analysis

David Pleat

BBC Radio 5 live at Kenilworth Road

Stoke manager Mark Hughes will want his to play a little quicker and get forward more on the flanks but Luton have competed so well so far. All-in-all Mark Hughes will have more work to do than counterpart John Still.

GOAL - Aston Villa 1-2 Notts County

Hats off to Notts County. Villa looked set to take control of the game after drawing level, but the League Two side have come again, won a penalty when Izale McLeod was fouled by sliding goalkeeper Mark Bunn and then retaken the lead through Jon Stead's spot-kick. It is the veteran striker's first goal for the club and it could be a huge one. 

Sunderland 3-3 Exeter

Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat called in the players for a crisis summit after the defeat to Norwich 10 days ago.

Being matched by League Two Exeter was probably not part of the plan hammered out.

GOAL - Hartlepool 0-3 Bournemouth

It's three before half-time for Eddie Howe's men who are in complete control.

After setting up Yann Kermorgant for the opener, Junior Stanislas curls a beauty of a free-kick into the top corner.

GOAL - Walsall 0-1 Brighton

Getty Images

We've gone goal crazy in the League Cup, as Jake Forster-Caskey's penalty gives Brighton the lead against Walsall. Forster-Caskey had been brought down in the area, but dusted himself off to score from 12 yards.

GOAL - Portsmouth 1-0 Reading

Well that is absolutely horrendous defending from Reading! Some poor communication at the back allowed Conor Chaplin to round Reading keeper Ali Al Habsi and finish from range at an acute angle.

GOAL Sunderland 3-3 Exeter

Reuters

The Exeter fans who braved the six-hour trip up to Wearside are being rewarded in stunning fashion. Tom McCready puts the Grecians back on level terms from close range.

GOAL - Bury 0-2 Leicester

Leicester double their lead thanks to some smart play from Leonardo Ulloa, winning the ball and teeing up Andrej Kramaric to finish with style.

GOAL - Crystal Palace 1-1 Shrewsbury

PA

Palace level. And it has come from the penalty spot after a foul on Wilfried Zaha. Dwight Gayle puts the ball down and side-foots in past the visiting goalkeeper, who dives the wrong way to his right.

GOAL - QPR 1-1 Carlisle

That was short lived for the Cumbrians, wasn't it?

Former Bristol City forward Jay Emmanuel-Thomas smashes in from long range to get QPR level.

Analysis

Northampton are having a right go. They are getting in and around Newcastle and their goalkeeper Ryan Clarke has made a couple of decent saves.

Former Newcastle keeper Steve Harper on BBC Radio 5 live

He has got the opener tonight but how many goals will it take for Yann Kermorgant to bury the memory of his disastrous play-off penalty miss for Leicester against Cardiff in 2010?

A miss so cataclysmic it spawned this rather excellent musical tribute.

At least another one I think. 

GOAL - Birmingham 1-0 Gillingham

The Championship side take the lead and it is striker Wes Thomas with his first goal of the season, tucking in from a Jacques Maghoma corner.

GOAL - QPR 0-1 Carlisle

The cupset klaxon is beginning to sound again - this time at Loftus Road!

Derek Asamoah slots League Two Carlisle United ahead at Queens Park Rangers.

That is another absolutely mammoth trip for supporters on this Tuesday night, by the way.

I think Luton boss John Still will be quite pleased as his side are playing with a bit of pace. Stephen Ireland is having some decent possession for Stoke but the visitors are struggling to create chances.

GOAL - Hartlepool 0-2 Bournemouth

PA

It's fair to say Dan Gosling is a man who enjoys a League Cup tie - he scored all five of his goals last season in this competition. The midfielder fires in a low shot as the Cherries take a commanding position against the League Two side.

Sunderland 2-2 Exeter

Exeter's win at Swindon in the League Cup first round was their first away win in the competition since 1992. Just like the buses, could it be a case of two arriving in quick succession after they come back from two goals down to level at the Stadium of Light.

Leicester development squad manager Steve Beaglehole said before tonight's game that Joe Dodoo "has been wanting that chance, he feels like he’s ready for it and he deserves it".

He sounds like a confident lad and the 20-year-old debutant has backed up the chat with the opening goal.

Fantastic from Exeter City, who've hauled themselves back into contention against Premier League Sunderland.

GOAL - Aston Villa 1-1 Notts County

Formerly of Barcelona, Adama Traore is used to more glamour than the early rounds of the League Cup, but he has applied himself well to bring Villa level. Jack Grealish makes the goal with a good run into the box and pass to Traore, who does the rest with a low finish.

It looks like Stephen O'Donnell's legs were taken away from him but the assistant referee was close to the incident. A huge sigh of relief from the Stoke bench.

PENALTY APPEAL

Luton Town's Stephen O'Donnell bombs on from right-back and goes down in a heap in the box under the attentions of Marko Arnautovic.

On closer inspection, O'Donnell got tangled up in his own legs rather than having them taken from him by the back-tracking Arnautovic.

GOAL - Burton 1-0 Middlesbrough

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Burton are ahead against Championship side Middlesbrough!

Matt Palmer's free-kick from the left isn't properly cleared, and eventually the ball goes bouncing in off Boro defender George Friend.

An amazing finish from Jonny Howson who fires from long-range past Rotherham keeper Adam Collin to break the deadlock after an even opening 20 minutes at the New York Stadium. 

Just the 69 league places between League Two Notts County and Premier League Aston Villa.

Tim Sherwood will be drawing up the half-time riot act already to jump-start his side.

Early upset alert

If you're surprised League One Shrewsbury have taken the lead at top-flight Palace then maybe you won't be after learning that they are unbeaten in seven games against the Eagles in all competitions, winning five and drawing two.

GOAL - Aston Villa 0-1 Notts County

PA

Villa have suffered their share of shocks against lower league clubs and they are behind to another tonight.

Breathless start to the game at the Stadium of Light. Exeter's Manny Oyeleke reduces Sunderland's lead with a neat finish from six yards out.

Sunderland take the lead with their first real chance of the game against League Two side Exeter, as midfielder Jack Rodwell gets his first goal of the season.

Bury v Leicester (19:45 BST)

Three goals in the opening ten minutes.

It is head-spinning basketball-style scoring at St James Park.

Like the glory days under Kevin Keegan. With a little more Northampton involved.

Analysis

Real Premier League quality from Newcastle for their second goal and it was a poor free-kick to give away by Northampton. But the referee had no choice to give Northampton a penalty for handball. This is crazy and it's game on.

First blood to the League One side as Ryan Woods finds Akpa Akpro in the box and he then plays in Matt Tootle on the right to fire in a low finish at the near post.

Goodness me, this could very quickly develop into a rather long night for the Cobblers. Siem de Jong glances in Florian Thauvin's free-kick to double Newcastle's lead.

League Cup second round

Newcastle made nine changes for tonight's game and Swansea boss Garry Monk changed his entire starting line-up but it doesn't seem to have bothered either side too much so far as both teams have quickly taken the lead.

GOAL - Peterborough 0-1 Charlton

What a start to this fella's professional debut! Mikhail Kennedy puts the Addicks ahead with one of the first touches of his senior career, as he slots home from six-yards out. Great start for the visitors.

Rickieeeee!

Rickie van Wolfswinkel has not played for Norwich since April 2014. But after a season on loan at St Etienne he is back for the Canaries' trip to Rotherham.

Hasselbaink aims for Boro upset

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink wore the Middlesbrough shirt for two years and was part of the Riverside outfit's side that reached the 2006 Uefa Cup final, which they lost to Sevilla, during his final season on Teesside.

Tonight, he will be in the opposing dug-out as his League One side Burton take on Championship side Boro.

Burton beat Peterborough 2-1 in the league coming into the game but Hasselbaink wasn't happy after the game.

"The first half was rubbish and the second half was even worse," said the Dutchman. "We scored two good goals but I'm not happy with the way we played and I'm not happy with the dynamics of the team."

PA to pay

Jermain Defoe is the Sunderland starting line-up to face Exeter.

Team news

Some of the Premier League teams are trying to flex their squad muscles and keep second string players happy by ringing the changes for the League Cup. Will it pay off?

Swansea, who won the competition in 2013, make 11 changes for the game against League Two's York City.

Goals, goals, goals

The goals will be flying in left, right and centre tonight with 23 matches on the go simultaneously.

Berahino again missing

It's no surprise that West Brom striker Saido Berahino is left out of the Baggies squad for the game against Port Vale.

The 22-year-old was absent from last Sunday's defeat by Chelsea and has handed in a transfer request. The latest on his future is that the Baggies have rejected a second offer from Tottenham Hotspur for the England Under-21 international.

Planes, trains and automobiles

PA

There are away trips and then there are AWAY TRIPS. Tonight, two sets of fans will do well to get to the ground to watch their team play let alone have the energy to provide vocal backing.

Exeter supporters face the longest trip of the night as they will break the 720-mile round trip barrier for the tie at Sunderland.

Bournemouth supporters also face a testing trek as they will have to travel around 672 miles to get to and from the Cherries playing at Hartlepool.

So, as the song by Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor doesn't go; 'Let's Capital One Cup and get it on'.

Team news

Former Northampton striker Ivan Toney has indeed squeezed on to the bench as  Newcastle make nine changes from the team that drew at Manchester United last Saturday. 

Left-back Massadio Haidara and forward Ayoze Perez are the only players to keep their places as French winger Florian Thauvin makes his full debut. Karl Darlow and Jamaal Lascelles also make their Magpies bows.

'Squeeze on to the bench'

PA

It wasn't that long ago that Ivan Toney was lining up in a Northampton shirt but tonight he'll be hoping to start against his former club when they face Newcastle.

The 19-year-old came through the Cobblers academy and made 60 appearances for his home town team before making the move to the Magpies earlier this summer.

"I think everybody knows I would love to play," he told the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. "But obviously it is the manager's decision who he chooses. 

"Hopefully I can squeeze my way in, maybe on the bench."

Bojan is back!

Stoke City make nine changes from the side which drew with Norwich at the weekend. Bojan is back up front in his first appearance since he injured his knee against Rochdale in January. Shay Given makes his debut in goal.

Big boys beware

In all, there are 23 Capital One Cup second-round games tonight with 11 Premier League clubs in action.

Five of those are away and some of the lesser lights will have their eyes firmly fixed on some giant-killing exploits. So, big boys, beware.

(Just in case you're wondering where the other top-flight clubs are, Everton play on Wednesday and the other eight join at the third-round stage because they will be competing in European competitions)

PA

Chelsea beat Tottenham in last season's final

The second round of the Capital One Cup was where Manchester United came to 4-0 grief against MK Dons last season.

Louis van Gaal recovered from that iffy start to his campaign to ensure United got into Europe and a bye into the third round of this year's competition.

But there are still plenty of Premier League sides trying to avoid a deflating dose of early-season lower-league defeat. And take the first step on the long road to Wembley.

"Staggering in their ineptitude"

"So poor it beggared belief. Staggering in their ineptitude, they were beaten in every facet of this football game." 

That was Steve Claridge's appraisal of one team's performance in the second round of the Capital One Cup last season.

So which no-hopers did he damn?

Northampton and Walsall were both on the receiving end of 3-0 humpings. Was it them?

Nope, it was these fellas.
