    "It was a shocking game in 1993! Arsenal were a very different side back then. They were hard to play against but now they have plenty of creative players - back then it was the  famous back five and winning 1-0 every week.

    This fixture is a repeat of the 1993 League Cup final. 

    Arsenal came out on top that day and it was the last time they lifted the trophy. 

    Yep, that's right, over two decades have past since Arsenal tasted success in this tournament.

    Claudio Ranieri delivered on the promise of pizza after Leicester City secured their first clean sheet of the season at the weekend.

    There could be more margheritas on the go tonight if they shut out Hull City to progress to the next round of the League Cup.

    "Champagne and pizza is good, not fantastic, but it’s OK," Ranieri said after Saturday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace. "It's carbohydrate, good for the muscles."

    Hull v Leicester (19:45 GMT)

    All change at the KC Stadium as both managers heavily rotate - which will suit the original tinkerman.

    Hull make eight changes, with only Moses Odubajo, Michael Dawson and Andrew Robertson surviving from the weekend.

    Leicester go even bigger - as only Marc Albrighton keeps his place.

    Hull XI: Jakupovic; Odubajo, Dawson, Maguire, Robertson: Hayden, Huddlestone, Diame, Taylor, Maloney: Luer

    Leicester XI: Schwarzer; De Laet, Benalouane, Wasilewski, Chilwell; Dodoo, Inler, King, Albrighton; Kramaric, Okazaki.

    Someone more than likely will grab a landmark goal for Arsenal tonight, with the Gunners currently on 1,999 goals scored since Arsene Wenger took charge. 

    Ian Wright got the first under the Frenchman, here's a list of the other significant scorers:

    50th: Tony Adams v Leicester City (12 April, 1997)

    100th: Marc Overmars v Leeds United (10 Jan, 1998)

    500th: Thierry Henry v Watford (5 Jan, 2002)

    1,000th: Jose Antonio Reyes v Manchester City (4 May, 2006)

    Perhaps unsurprisingly given fixtures to come against Swansea City and Bayern Munich in the next eight days, Arsenal make changes for this League Cup trip – eight to be exact. Only Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Petr Cech retain their places from the win over Everton.

    There are debuts for Glen Kamara and Alex Iwobi, who Gunners’ fans will hope can show the trickery his uncle – Jay Jay Okocha - became famed for.

    Wednesday make just two changes to the side which beat Rotherham.  Joseph Wildsmith takes his place in goal, while Jeremy Helan is also recalled.

    Sheff Wed XI: Wildsmith, Hutchinson, Loovens, Lees, Helan, Joao, Lee, Hunt, Wallace, Pudil, Bannan.

    Arsenal XI: Cech, Debuchy, Chambers, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Flamini, Kamara, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Campbell, Iwobi, Giroud.

  10. 'Mourinho loves to have total control'published at 19:06

    Stoke v Chelsea (19:45 GMT)

    Journalist Andy Dunn believes that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho requires total control in his job.

    Speaking on the Monday Night Club, he said: "Jose Mourinho is a guy who in his office has CCTV on each training pitch, so he can see what the Under 17's are doing on one pitch, what the senior team are doing on another. He knows when they're clocking in, he knows when they're clocking out."

    Mourinho was charged with misconduct by the Football Association over his language and behaviour on Monday.

    The Blues are currently 15th in the Premier League, after losing five of their opening 10 Premier League fixtures.

    A welcome sight for Stoke fans - Ryan Shawcross is back in their starting XI. The Potters skipper starts for the first time this season following back surgery in the summer.

    Forward Mame Biram Diouf also returns from compassionate leave as boss Mark Hughes makes six changes to the team which lost against Watford.

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho needs a morale-boosting win and his team selection shows it. Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and John Terry all start as Mourinho makes just three changes from Saturday's defeat at West Ham.

    Left-back Baba Rahman, holding midfielder John Mikel Obi and attacking midfielder Oscar replace Cesar Azpilicueta, the suspended Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas.  

    Stoke XI: Butland, Bardsley, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Muniesa, Adam, Whelan, Diouf, Afellay, Arnautovic, Walters.

    Everton were beaten by Liverpool in the 1984 Football League Cup

    BBC Sport's Shamoon Hafez: "Just being in the fourth round of the competition can be classed as a success for Everton, who have not reached this stage since the 2011-12 season after suffering three third round defeats.

    "Roberto Martinez's side have never won the League Cup, but were beaten finalists in 1977 and 1984.

    "Norwich are on a run of three straight defeats in the league, shipping nine goals so manager Alex Neil will be shuffling his pack hoping for a reaction.

    "Unlike their opponents, the Canaries have won the competition on two occasions, most recently in 1985."

    Youssouf Mulumbu makes his full debut for Norwich, having signed on a free transfer in the summer. 

    Alex Neil has rung the changes from the weekend defeat against West Brom as goalkeeper Declan Rudd, defender Andre Wisdom and midfielder Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe all getting a start.

    Norwich XI: Rudd; Wisdom, Bennett, Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Mulumbu, O'Neil, Odjidja; Hoolahan; Grabban

    Stoke supporters have not had the pleasure of seeing captain Ryan Shawcross wearing red and white stripes since May. 

    The 28-year-old centre-back has not played all season following back surgery in the summer, but returns to face Chelsea tonight.

    Welcoming back Ryan will be a big bonus," Potters manager Mark Hughes said in his pre-match news conference.

    He is captain of the club and has an influence on and off the field.

    Upset? What's that you say? No chance?

    Consider this, Sheffield Wednesday go into this home fixture - where 35,000 are expected  - with no defeats in their last eight matches.

    They are slowly edging up the Championship - currently ninth - buoyed by new owners who want the club in the Premier League by 2017. They even took the scalp of Newcastle in the last round.

    Furthermore, Hillsborough is not a great place for Arsene Wenger, who has never won at the famous ground in his 19 years in English football.

    His side may well be flying high in second in the Premier League but this one has a hint of banana skin about it.
