Carabao Cup draw LIVE: Liverpool face Man City in fourth round as Manchester United host Burnley

GOAL! That’s it! Scott McTominay adds a fourth for United and they will be through to the fourth round as well. Brilliant second half at Old Trafford.

Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal could add to their “short squad” in the January transfer window after his much-changed side slumped to Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton.

The Gunners showed 10 changes from their weekend win at Chelsea which took them back to the top of the Premier League as Brighton left the Emirates Stadium with a 3-1 win.

Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the hosts with his 11th goal in 12 Carabao Cup outings, but Brighton stormed back.

Danny Welbeck levelled from the penalty spot after the former Arsenal man had been fouled by Gunners debutant Karl Hein, the Estonia goalkeeper slipping over before jumping back to his feet just in time to trip Welbeck.

Kaoru Mitoma and Tariq Lamptey scored on the break to send Brighton through as Arteta’s call for the cavalry – Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, Granit Xhaka and Oleksandr Zinchenko all coming off the bench – failed to rouse a response.

GOAL! And now Manchester United are in front! It’s a gift from Aston Villa, given away by goalkeeper Robin Olsen, and Fernandes’ shot takes a deflection off Mings and into the net!

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe backed goalkeeper Nick Pope’s World Cup claims after witnessing his penalty shoot-out heroics as England boss Gareth Southgate prepared to name his squad.

The 30-year-old, a £10million summer signing from Burnley, saved spot-kicks from Luka Milivojevic, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Malcolm Ebiowei as the Magpies progressed to the last 16 in the Carabao Cup courtesy of a 3-2 shoot-out win after the 90 minutes at St James’ Park had ended goalless.

Pope is widely expected to be included in Southgate’s squad when it is announced on Thursday, and his performance will not have gone unnoticed after he also produced a fine first-half stop to deny Mateta.

GOAL! What a game this is now! After winning a flick-on, Rashford picks up on a loose ball in the box, skips around a slipping Tyrone Mings, and fires into the back of the net!

It’s 2-2.

GOAL! Aston Villa retake the lead! Ashley Young drives forward from right back and floats a lovely ball towards the back post. Leon Bailey is there and nods across, only for the ball to deflect in off Diogo Dalot!

West Ham’s players “let themselves and the fans down” as they crashed out of the Carabao Cup on penalties to a youthful Blackburn side.

Angelo Ogbonna missed the crucial penalty as Rovers won 10-9 on spot-kicks in a marathon shoot-out.

After 19 successful penalties Ogbonna’s effort crashed off the underside of the crossbar to send Championship Rovers through to round four following a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium.

GOAL! Wow - what a reply, and what a start to the second half! This time it’s Villa who are left open, and Bruno Fernandes rolls it across for Anthony Martial to tap in.

Just 19 seconds between the goals.

GOAL! Jacob Ramsey slices Manchester United open and a lovely finish from Ollie Watkins puts Aston Villa ahead at Old Trafford!

Game on.

Pep Guardiola declared himself “more than pleased” after Manchester City claimed their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea on Wednesday.

On a night when Kalvin Phillips returned to action to stake his claim for a World Cup place, City prevailed at the Etihad Stadium with second-half goals from Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez.
