Chelsea have Ruben Loftus-Cheek playing just off new signing Michy Batshuayi but it is Pedro who creates the first moment of excitement. He slides in for a cross but can't quite reach it at the far post. Bristol Rovers survive.

Sixty-nine seconds was all it took for Championship Brighton to take the lead in this one against their League One opponents.

Sam Adekugbe was unleashed down the left-hand side for the visitors and rifled in a left-foot shot into the roof of the net past Simon Eastwood.

Chances of an upset perhaps already over in this one.

Referees whistles blow across the land. 19 EFL Cup games kicking-off at 19:45 BST are under way.

Yeovil boss Darren Way: "This feels good. To be able to set your team up against a Premier League team is a real joy. With no disrespect we are going up against 11 players. It is just a different blade of grass in a different arena."

Let's hope Blackpool have a pair of muscular centre-halves. Christian Benteke is again causing some bother, using his frame to throw himself at Yohan Cabaye's inswinging cross. But the referee reckons the new Palace striker unfairly uses his strength and blows up for a foul.

The early signs are promising for Benteke and Palace. Not so for Blackpool.

You can listen to the Liverpool v Burton match on BBC Radio 5 live and Chelsea v Bristol Rovers on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra. Both commentaries are available at the top of this page.

Switch to the BBC Red Button for Final Score and keep upto date with all the goals as they hit the back of the net.

Stick it onto his head! There's not much doubt how Palace will look to get the best out of Christian Benteke. The burly Belgian has a chance in the opening stages of his debut, but heads straight at Blackpool keeper Sam Slocombe.

Here we go then. The second round of the EFL Cup is go, go, go. League Two visitors Blackpool get things moving at Selhurst Park.
