    A few potential tasty fixtures in there. If Liverpool beat lower-opposition Lincoln City, they could come up against Leicester or Arsenal.

    Millwall could set up a tie with holders Manchester City if they overcome Burnley.

    Tottenham v Chelsea (Jose Mourinho etc.) is also a possibility.

    Right, fourth round draw coming up next (apparently).

    So here's a reminder of who is in the pot for the third round...

  17. 'I have tried to prove myself'published at 21:56 British Summer Time 17 September 2020

    FT: Brighton 4-0 Portsmouth

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton's Alireza Jahanbakhsh speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a brilliant game and the lads did a great job. We knew we had to control the game and create chances. We could have scored more in the first half but we tried to win the game and that's the most important thing. Some of the young lads got to play and did a great job.

    "When I got the ball in the middle of the pitch I tried to turn and I knew there was space in the left-hand side. I tried to be there and I had a shot, thought I'd try and it went in the right direction.

    "I think I have had better games to be honest. Last season, it didn't happen many times but this season there are new opportunities. I tried to do my best for the team and I think it was a good performance.

    "I always try to improve myself day-in, day-out and learn more. You get used to the competition and the environment. I have learnt a lot. I have tried to prove myself. I work my socks off to get my chances.

    "I think whenever I get my chances I try to do my best. Hopefully I get more chances to perform for the club and to the fans. I want to give. Obviously you want to play every single game so that's what you work hard for."

  18. 'The application was first class'published at 21:52 British Summer Time 17 September 2020

    FT: Brighton 4-0 Portsmouth

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton manager Graham Potter speaking to Sky Sports: "Really happy. The application was first class and we trained well this week. There was a really good attitude in the group. It's nice to score goals and keep a clean sheet.

    On man of the match Alireza Jahanbakhsh: "He's getting better and better. He is pushing all the time and training well. He was in the squad on the weekend and came on. You could see from his performance tonight he is enthusiastic. He will play a part this season definitely.

    "We play Newcastle first so we'll have to see how that goes then after that we will see how the group is then make a decision. A tough game up at Preston, we know that."

  19. Stoke score late to sink Wolvespublished at 21:50 British Summer Time 17 September 2020

    Jacob Brown scored a late winner as Stoke City beat Wolves in the Carabao Cup to set up a third-round tie with Gillingham next week.

    The summer signing from Barnsley popped up to slam home a shot which John Ruddy should have saved after a pass from fellow substitute Steven Fletcher.

    The game was far from a classic with each goalkeeper making a single save.

  20. Burnley set up tie with Millwallpublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 17 September 2020

    I'll give you a quick round-up of the results today while we wait for the draw. They say it's coming up "soon" but we all know that's going to be ages away...

    Burnley will travel to Millwall after beating Sheffield United in a penalty shoot-out at Turf Moor in tonight's early game.

    Robbie Brady converted the decisive kick after Burnley keeper Nick Pope had earlier saved from Oli McBurnie, sending the Clarets through.

    Burnley's Matej Vydra levelled after the break for the hosts to send the tie to penalties.

    David McGoldrick had opened the scoring from close range on four minutes.
