Good start by Hull City against Leicester as a smart move opens up their Premier League opponents' defence to give Greg Luer sight of goal, but his shot is blocked.

"Chelsea have started very well, plenty of confidence on the ball, their movement is great. There's a bit of zip on the grass and Chelsea are passing the ball around nicely."

It has been all Chelsea in these early stages - just what Jose Mourinho will want to see - and only a fine save by Jack Butland denies a hungry-looking Diego Costa. Moments later, the striker's shot is knocked behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.

An early injury blow for Arsenal as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's night lasts all of five minutes. Not sure what happened to him but he is sitting on the pitch, looking mightily frustrated, before he is replaced by Theo Walcott.

Early effort from Diego Costa, his shot deflected behind for a corner. Willian takes it, but the ball is headed away.

There's also League One action tonight as Millwall host Doncaster. You can get updates from that game here.

"It's freezing here and there is a lot of pressure on Chelsea, so Mark Hughes will have said to his players 'don't give them a minute's peace'. Stoke will put Chelsea under the cosh, put a tight squeeze on them and see how they cope with it."

Off we go in tonight's four League Cup games.

Jose Mourinho was all smiles as he entered the Britannia Stadium earlier, will he still be beaming in a couple of hours?

"This ground will be rocking, three sides of it at least. You can see the Wednesday fans are all ready."

Right then, five minutes until kick-off. I'm hoping it won't come to this, but there's extra-time and penalties tonight if any of the games ended all square after 90 minutes.

Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, who received an OBE for services for football earlier today, is also backing Jose Mourinho to turn around the club's slump.

"With Mourinho in charge, the squad they've got, the talent they've got on the pitch - I don't see any way that they won't turn it around," he said.

Mark Hughes was the sort of player who you wanted to be fighting your corner - and Jose Mourinho will probably be happy to hear that the Stoke manager is sticking up for him now.

The Chelsea manager is facing a tough time at the moment, but Hughes says his Portuguese counterpart has the "knowledge and understanding" to turn around the Blues' fortunes.

"I don't think anyone thinks that he won't. I don't anticipate they'll be in the position they are for too much longer," says the Welshman.

"Chelsea have quality right throughout the club that will enable them to come through this moment I'm sure."

A Book of Condolences is open tonight at St. Luke's church in Liverpool in memory of former Everton player and manager Howard Kendall who passed away recently.

A picture of him holding the First Division trophy is also shown on the side of Goodison Park this evening, and what a trophy it is.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez stated beforehand that Spaniard Joel Robles would start in goal tonight, but should he be a permanent fixture for the number one spot ahead of Tim Howard?

The American was culpable for both goals against Arsenal at the weekend, failing to come out and clear two balls that were crossed into the six-yard box.

Readers of local newspaper Liverpool Echo seem to think so, with an overwhelming 86% voting for him, external to be left out of the Toffee's next Premier League game against Sunderland on Sunday.  

The FA Cup first-round draw took place last night but there are still a few teams who need to cement their place in it. 

Six fourth-round qualifying replays take place tonight, with live commentaries on the following:

Cheltenham Town v Havant and Waterlooville 

Guiseley v Halifax Town

Lincoln City v Tranmere Rovers

If you fancy listening to one of those, you can do just that here.
