    Rezaa Sait: Out of all the changes made by big teams, I'm looking forward to seeing Wilshere in action. Will he force his way into the World Cup?

    Mark Taylor: If I were a Burton fan I might be thinking even with a full 11 we lose anyway and maybe a demoralising defeat to boot, save them.

    No surprise to see 11 changes on Arsenal's team sheet. Arsene Wenger routinely uses this competition to rotate his squad. But although there are plenty kids on the bench, Wenger's starting XI is strong and very experienced contains World Cup winners & Copa America Winners.

    (Just two changes for Doncaster as Fergie Jr looks to spring a cup shock on his father's long standing rival.)

    Ian Shepherd: Remember when the League Cup was for blooding youngsters...now it's to give German World Cup winners a game.

    Per Mertesacker may well have been part of the Germany World Cup winning squad in 2014, but he has not featured in any Premier League game this season for Arsenal.

    Three British teenagers on the bench for Chelsea tonight and the plan, in an ideal world, is to bring on at least one of them.

    Nineteen-year-old Jake Clarke-Salter was part of the World Cup winning Under-20 side. Dujon Sterling and Ethan Ampadu are only 17 and highly rated at the Cobham academy. Ampadu, who made his Exeter debut at just 15, is the son of Kwame, the former Arsenal striker.

    Here's how to nominate your Unsung Hero

    The award recognises the amazing work that volunteers do in grassroots sport and fitness around the UK.

    Last year, Marcellus Baz from Nottingham scooped the award for his work as a community boxing coach. Could it be someone from football this year?

    If you know someone who deserves to be recognised for their voluntary work in sport and fitness you can nominate them here.

    • Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have met once before in the League Cup, with the Blues winning 2-1 a third-round replay in 1971-72 after drawing 1-1 in the original match - a campaign in which Chelsea reached the final, only to lose 2-1 to Stoke City.

    Both full-backs changed and still Luke Shaw can't get a start.

    Manager Jose Mourinho continues to be complimentary about 22-year-old Shaw, called up for England duty as recently as March.

    But the more time goes on, the more it seems Shaw has little future at Old Trafford.

    Since returning from injury in last season's Community Shield, the former Southampton defender has started just 17 of 72 games.

    West Brom v Manchester City (20:00 BST)

    Yaya Toure makes his first start of the season for Manchester City and is captain no less. He comes in to a midfield that also contains Ilkay Gundogan, making his first start after recovering from the ligaments he damaged in his knee last December.

    John Stones, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus are the only survivors from the starting XI for the 6-0 win at Watford. Claudio Bravo is in goal, Danilo and Eliaquim Mangala are at the back, Fabian Delph and Bernardo Silva are in midfield and Leroy Sane starts up front.

    Man City: Bravo, Danilo, Gundogan, Stones, Mangala, Yaya Toure, Delph, Bernardo, Sterling, Sane, Jesus.

    Just five changes for West Brom. Gareth McAuley joins Jonny Evans and Craig Dawson at the back, Nyom comes in (possibly to play wing-back, with Kieran Gibbs on the other flank). Claudio Yacob and James Morrison start in midfield, with Hal Robson-Kanu up front.

    West Brom: Foster, McAuley, Evans, Dawson, Nyom, Gibbs, Yacob, Krychowiak, Morrison, Rodriguez, Robson-Kanu.

    Manchester United v Burton Albion (20:00 BST)

    This tweet from Manchester United caught the eye this afternoon...

    A reminder that anti-discrimination group Kick It Out has contacted Manchester United to ask them to stop the club's fans singing a "racist" chant about Romelu Lukaku.

    It says the lyrics, about the size of the 24-year-old striker's penis, are "offensive and discriminatory".

    Lukaku is not playing tonight .

    "To win the game we have to be bang at it. We have to give an eight or nine out of 10 performance and hope they are not at it."
