Carabao Cup scores
Arsenal 2-1 Norwich City - AET
Bournemouth 3-1 Middlesbrough
Bristol City 4-1 Crystal Palace
Leicester City 3-1 Leeds United
Manchester City 0-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers [4-1 on penalties AET]
Well what a night in the EFL Cup. Arsenal need extra time to beat Norwich and City require penalties to overcome Wolves. Not the evening either side were expecting.
Well that is all we have time for on our live blog from the Carabao Cup. We're back tomorrow with live coverage of Chelsea vs Everton and Tottenham against West Ham. But until then, it's goodnight.
Full time: Manchester City 0-0 Wolves
Ninety minutes played and City haven't scored. Wolves should have won this game in normal time, much like Norwich, but squandered some golden chances in each half. In the end they had more efforts on goal than the hosts, which says it all.
Wolves become the first team to stop Man City scoring in 90 minutes since Man Utd in April. Scored 57 in 17 since then.

Great night for the lad. Extra time looms.
Eddie Nketiah becomes the first player to score a competitive goal for Arsenal who wasn't born when Arsene Wenger became manager.

It will be down to the first 11 to get them back into this game and into the last eight.
Wenger backed his changed side to go deep into this comp & hasn't put any sort of 'insurance policy' on the bench here, either... #AFC

Just about sums this one up....
Heard this one before? Arsenal dominating completely but struggling to create chances. #AFCvNCFC

Great to see Callim Wilson back for Bournemouth after successive knee injuries. Still, lots of changes for the Cherries.

Thomas Christiansen suggested yesterday that Leeds could retain some of their frist team for the trip to Leicester tonight, with Sheffield United to come on Friday. Just the ten changes from the Dane then......

Ten changes for City from the win over Burnley. Sergio Aguerio is the only one who remains. Gabriel Jesus starts alongside him, while Raheem Sterling returns. There is a debut for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Tosin Adarabioyo make his first senior appearance of the campaign.
Just the nine changes for Championship leaders Wolves. Danny Batth and Conor Coady are retained from the win over Preston but the likes of Helder Costa, Ben Marshall and Alfred N'Diaye come into the team. Ivan Cavaleiro and Roderick Miranda are among those on the bench.
Teams in from the Etihad Stadium.

Eleven changes for Arsenal as expected. Matt Macey makes his debut for the club in goal. The back three is the same as the one which started at Red Star Belgrade last week. The front-three sees Alex Iwobi return alongside goal of the year winner Olivier Giroud. Jack Wilshere starts in midfield.
Four changes for Norwich from the win at Ipswich. In come Husband, Vrancic, Murphy and Oliveira. Jerome, Stiepermann and Hoolahan are on the bench.
And here are the teams from The Emirates.

Will we see more of Mesut Ozil tonight? He was undeniably good against Everton but according to Per Mertesacker it was because Arsenal supplied he correctly. Not sure that is how it is meant to work...
Mertesacker praises Ozil in programme notes, adds: We made him shine because we gave him the ball in the right areas. pic.twitter.com/tMCBD9ynSg

We have six games tonight, five of which you can follow right here. But for live coverage of Swansea vs Manchester United, just head this way. A night for multiple tabs, I would say.
Arsenal's youngster arrive at the Emirates before kick-off.
Here come the lads - what would your starting XI look like for #AFCvNCFC? pic.twitter.com/Xd5WOUzFBD

For Man City, Sergio Aguero has another chance to become the club's all-time top scorer tonight. He went level with Eric Brook with a penalty against Burnley and will be bidding to go beyond his 177 against wolves.
Wolves made eight changes in the third round and the Championship leaders are expected to repeat that tonight. Will Norris could start in goal.
Guessing the team which Arsenal will announce in around 25 minutes is near-enough impossible. Arsene Wenger is essentially set to turn to his Europa League team, with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott all expected to start. Shkodran Mustafi, Calum Chambers, Santi Cazorla, Danny Welbeck and David Ospina are all out.
Norwich are hopeful of having Christoph Zimmerman available after he went off during the 1-0 win at Ipswich. Russell Martin has travelled with the squad.
Everyone's favourite competition to hate is back for another dose as the Carabao Cup takes centre stage. Plenty of the big guns remain with Arsenal and Manchester City among the clubs looking to reach the quarter-finals, when Wembley is just three games away.
Having got Ronald Koeman the sack yesterday [probably], Arsenal will be looking to continue their impressive recent run when they welcome Norwich City to north London. The Canaries themselves are on a high after winning the East-Anglia derby at Ipswich Town.
Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola will want to continue on the road towards his first trophy at Manchester City when they host Wolves at the Etihad. Nuno Espírito Santo's side have won the last three in a row but have not won at City since 1999. Robbie Keane got the goal that day.
We are focusing on three other games including Leeds' trip to Leicester, Bournemouth at home to Middlesbrough and Bristol city against Crystal Palace.
All the team news and build up is on the way ahead of the 7:45pm kick-offs.
