Andy Robertson swings another low cross from the left right through the box. Inviting a finish that never came. Danny Ward hasn't had too much to do so far in the Liverpool goal. There is a very interested observer back on Merseyside...

Charlie Adam's pass back to the keeper is a poor one and Bristol's Famara Diedhiou latches on to it. He strikes well and forces Lee Grant to make a smart save low to his left from close range.

Roy Hodgson will be happy with what he has seen from his side so far.

Crystal Palace are in full control and have an early chance when Andros Townsend gets a clear sight of goal but scuffs his shot straight at goalkeeper Joel Coleman.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has a great chance to open his Liverpool account. The ball is slid across the face of goal and lands at his feet for what looks certain to be a finish into the net until Ben Chilwell comes from nowhere to block.

Leicester with an early corner at the King Power. Wes Morgan meets a corner at the back post but is crowded out by a couple of Liverpool defenders. The ball skips out got another corner, which Danny Ward claims with ease.

Plenty of changes tonight with the 11 Premier League sides making a combined 88 changes from the weekend.

I'm all for making changes - that's what a squad is for.

West Ham have reduced ticket prices for tonight's game but it still feels a little deserted in here with the match announcer's voice echoing around the stadium as he reads out the line-ups.

Marko Arnautovic hasn't done much for West Ham yet other than get himself sent off at Southampton so you'd imagine he'll want to assert himself on proceedings.

Phil Parkinson's made seven changes to his Bolton team with a huge home game against fellow Championship strugglers Brentford coming up on Saturday.

It's a tough test for Bristol Rovers against one of the most expensively assembled sides in the Championship.

Wolves, who signed midfielder Ruben Neves from Porto for a Championship-record fee in the summer, are flying high in England's second tier, second to Leeds only on goal difference.

The hosts will certainly fancy their chances. They have progressed past lower league opposition in 11 of their last 12 League Cup games at the Molineux.

It's another all-Championship tie at Brentford as the Bees take on Norwich.

Brentford's only normal-time win so far this season has come in the Carabao Cup - a 4-1 second-round victory at QPR.

Norwich, meanwhile, are going well, having lost just three games so far this term.

“Before the first game in the cup, I said the cup has a high importance," says Norwich boss Daniel Farke.

"We want to go there and win this game; otherwise, we would send a postcard to Brentford and say: ‘Okay, we don’t want to go through to the next round’ but we want to try everything to win this game.”

There are a few familiar faces for Premier League fans from this all-Championship encounter, as Chris Samba, Alan Hutton and Ritchie De Laet make up three-quarters of Aston Villa's back four and Micah Richards on the bench.

Britt Assombalonga, Middlesbrough's match-winner on Saturday, starts on the bench for the visitors.

Two sides with hopes of promotion back to the Premier League this season meet at Villa Park.

It's a case of deja vu for these two having met only last week in the Championship.

That game ended in a goalless draw.

Gifs are everywhere these days. You pretty much can't make a comment on Twitter without someone replying with a surprised owl or Jim Carrey pulling a funny face.

Gifs are, apparently, also benefiting Bristol City. The Robins are the Championship's highest scorers and it's been suggested that the little clips the club films of players celebrating scoring is motivating them to score more.

Madness.

Watch more on this in the video below.

Bristol City make nine changes from the side which beat Derby County 4-1. Only Aden Flint and Marlon Pack remain in the starting XI.

There's a first start for Luke Steele in goal following his deadline day move from Panathinaikos.

Stoke make six changes but name a relatively strong side as Peter Crouch, Kurt Zouma, Kevin Wimmer and Darren Fletcher all start.

Bristol City XI: Steele, Vyner, Flint, Hegeler, Magnusson, Eliasson, Pack, Brownhill, O'Dowda, Diedhiou, Taylor.

Stoke XI: Grant; Zouma, Martins Indi, Wimmer; Johnson, Fletcher, Adam, Tymon, Choupo-Moting, Ramadan; Crouch.

The year 2013 was a strange one in domestic cup competitions.

Not only did Wigan win the FA Cup but Swansea triumphed in the League Cup, ending Bradford City's incredible run to the final.

But since then, the Swans have not had much fun in the competition, only reaching the fourth round once.

Wilfried Bony makes his first start for Swansea since rejoining the club.
