    West Brom are on a roll at the start of this season. These cup competitions offer a great opportunity and it's good to see Tony Pulis taking it really seriously. Leicester made lots of changes but still put out a really strong outfit. The problem comes when you make changes and lose the game.

    Bolton 3-2 Sheffield Wednesday

    An eventful end to this game as both managers are sent to the stands.

    Into injury time.

    Just two games left then and, amazingly, only one fixture is heading to extra time.

    Bolton are currently beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-2 while Reading are drawing 1-1 with Millwall with just a couple of minutes remaining.

    Sheffield United put in a spirited display but have got bigger things to concentrate on. Leicester played well second half and this competition could be a great opportunity for them to win some silverware. No injuries, fringe players performing well - Craig Shakespeare will be pleased.

    Too many changes?

    Benjamin David: Not every team makes wholesale changes, West Brom put out a strong team tonight and reaped the dividends. Great display.

    Thomas Hollern: They are all squad players ,the only thing disrespectful is calling them weak. They are in the squad and have the right to play.

    Gavin Witt: Give Champions League places to FA Cup & EFL Cup winners rather than clubs happy to play for 4th - then see how seriously teams take the cups.

  20. RED CARD - Jose Holebaspublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 22 August 2017

    Watford 1-2 Bristol City

    It gets worse for Watford as they are reduced to 10 men. Jose Holebas, on a booking, loses the ball and clumsily swipes the feet of a Bristol City player as he tries to get the ball back. Second yellow and off he goes.
