Preston take the lead again at Dean Court! Simon Makienok has a hat-trick, squeezing a shot under Adam Federici with just over five minutes of extra time remaining.

Goal! Bournemouth 2-3 Preston (Simon Makienok, 111)

The whistle also goes at the King Power Stadium. That late red card for Wasilewski killed off Leicester completely; Chelsea scored twice in the opening three minutes of extra time and they have been in complete control since.

It's half-time in extra time at Dean Court and there is still no breakthrough between Bournemouth and Preston.

Bournemouth and Preston are still poised at 2-2. With Chelsea now in control at the King Power Stadium, that could be our only tie heading to penalties.

And Chelsea may have just wrapped this tie up. Marcos Alonso cuts in from the right and drills a cross into a cluster of players. The ball is knocked up high in the air and Zieler can't get a strong punch on it, only getting it as far as Fabregas who is stood 10 yards out. He takes a quick touch and smashes another into the roof of the net.

Goal! Leicester City 2-4 Chelsea (Cesc Fabregas, 93)

Chelsea have a third! In the opening minutes of extra time, they work it wonderfully inside the box with Hazard neatly backheeling into the path of Fabregas, who rifles one past Zieler.

Goal! Nottingham Forest 0-4 Arsenal (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 90)

Full-time: Derby 0-3 Liverpool

Easy for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Leicester are clinging on a bit here, they have just been reduced to 10 men after Wasilewski was shown a second yellow card. And Chelsea have just bought Eden Hazard on... Four minutes of time added on.

Goal! Brighton 1-2 Reading (Tomer Hemed, 85)

Zieler twice denies Diego Costa at the King Power Stadium, we are just over five minutes away from extra time there...

Everton look to be heading to their first defeat of the season after a superb strike from 21-year-old Josh Murphy. Norwich in control at Goodison Park.

Goal! Everton 0-2 Norwich City (Josh Murphy, 74)

Perez is off the mark in English football; he has two at the City Ground tonight.

Lucas Perez has his second goal as an Arsenal player, coming in from the left before neatly rounding the goalkeeper.

Goal! Nottingham Forest 0-3 Arsenal (Lucas Perez, 71)

Diego Costa has been brought on to help Chelsea find a breakthrough at the King Power Stadium, but it's Michy Batshuayi who almost finds the back of the net, firing a vicious effort on goal that is just about palmed away by Zieler. Terrific save.

As it stands, three games are heading to extra time tonight. Bournemouth are being held at home to Preston, Leeds and Blackburn are yet to manage a goal between them and Chelsea have fought back from two goals down to draw level with Leicester. Could be a long night yet for a few sides.

Arsenal are easing into control at the City Ground. Chuba Akpom squirms into the box but is felled by Michael Mancienne. The referee points to the spot and up steps Lucas Perez, who converts to score his first goal for the club.

Goal! Nottingham Forest 0-2 Arsenal (Lucas Perez, 60)

Reading despite being reduced to 10 after Tyler Blackett's red card, have doubled their lead away to Brighton and in style. On the counter, the away side swarm forward with goal scorer Quinn turning provider, cutting a ball back for John Swift who drills one home.

Bournemouth are back in their tie too after Lewis Grabban converted a penalty, after Max Gradel's free kick was blocked by the arm of Ben Pringle.

Goals everywhere now. Liverpool have scored their second in as many minutes through Divock Origi. Coutinho provides his second goal of the night, sliding a ball through for the Belgian who smashes it first time into the roof of the net.

Goal! Derby 0-3 Liverpool (Divock Origi, 55)

Goal! Brighton 0-2 Reading (John Swift, 54)

Goal! Bournemouth 1-1 Preston (Lewis Grabban, 54)

And Liverpool have doubled their lead. Easy, clinical stuff from Jurgen Klopp's side as Philippe Coutinho springs forward, exchanges passes with countryman Roberto Firmino before slotting into the far corner. It's a walk in the park for them tonight.

Goal! Derby 0-2 Liverpool (Philippe Coutinho, 50)

What a strike from Cesar Azpilicueta. Wasilewski nods away a Chelsea cross but it only gets as far as the Spaniard, who is waiting just outside the box. He watches the ball drop and hits an immaculate dipping volley on goal that flies into the top corner and gets his side right back into this contest.

Goal! Leicester 2-2 Chelsea (Cesar Azpilicueta, 49)

And we are getting back underway for the second half of action across the country.

Plenty of goals around this evening, only one fixture remains goalless and that is at Elland Road where Leeds and Blackburn haven't got going yet.

It;s been a lively first 45 minutes of action this evening. Here are the scores at the half-way point.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Arsenal

Newcastle United 2-0 Wolves

Leicester City 2-1 Chelsea

Leeds United 0-0 Blackburn Rovers

Everton 0-1 Norwich City

Derby County 0-1 Liverpool

Brighton 0-1 Reading

Bournemouth 0-1 Preston

With the last move of the half, Chelsea pull one back! Wes Morgan loses Cahill as a corner comes in from the right and he nods back across goal past Zieler. It's already across the line as Chilwell hacks clear, but Luiz knocks it back across the line just to make sure.

Goal! Leicester City 2-1 Chelsea (Gary Cahill, 45+1)

Xhaka finds the back of the net again. From 30 yards out again.

Leicester lead thanks to this man.

Steven Naismith pops up against his former club to given Norwich the lead at Goodison Park.

Goal! Everton 0-1 Norwich (Stephen Naismith, 41)

Okazaki has another! It's another scrappy finish but again the Leicester striker has punished some slack Chelsea defending, nipping inside his man before hitting his turf into the ground that squirms through Begovic. Azpilicueta throws himself to hack the ball clear, but it's already comfortably sailed over the line.

Goal! Leicester 2-0 Chelsea (Shinji Okazaki, 34)

A lovely goal from Stephen Quinn has put Reading up away to Brighton, meeting a poorly cleared corner with a sweet half-volley and driving straight into the top corner.

Goal! Brighton 0-1 Reading (Stephen Quinn, 32)

Two in as many minutes from Newcastle! Against the side who beat them in this exact same fixture at the weekend, they have taken control. Matt Richie opened the scoring, finding the bottom corner with a cool finish after a neat one-two on the edge of the box, before Yoann Gouffran added another screamer to his collection, smashing a volley into the roof of the net after meeting a cross in from the right.

Goal! Newcastle United 2-0 Wolves (Yoann Gouffran, 30)

Goal! Newcastle United 1-0 Wolves (Matt Ritchie, 29)

There's been a goal at Pride Park too and it is all too easy for Liverpool. Derby fail to clear a corner swung in by Philippe Coutinho and Klavan, up from the back, takes advantage and finds the bottom corner.

Just like he did on Saturday, Xhaka finds the back of the net from 30 yards out! This one wasn't quite as sweet, however; this effort took a sizeable deflection on its way to beating the Forest goalkeeper. Still, he'll take that.

Goal! Derby 0-1 Liverpool (Ragnar Klavan, 23)

Goal! Nottingham Forest 0-1 Arsenal (Granit Xhaka, 22)

Nicklas Bendtner was always going to have a lively game tonight, wasn't he? Just now, he's picked up the first booking of the evening and almost caught Martinez out with a curling effort from 20 yards out.

Moments after Leicester have a penalty appeal turned down after some calamitous defending from Cahill, the home side have the lead! David Luiz, Cahill and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic are all culpable here, they all stood rooted to the spot as Okazaki nips in yards out from goal to nod an accurate header into the corner of the net.

Goal! Leicester City 1-0 Chelsea (Shinji Okazaki, 16)

Nottingham Forest almost punish Arsenal for overplaying the ball inside their own box as Bendtner nips in before laying the ball off for Kasami. He surely has to test the goalkeeper, but fires wide. Shocking effort.

Moments later Chuba Akpom finds room to take a shot on goal, but sees his effort palmed over the bar.

We have our first goal of the evening. Nathan Ake looks to have rescued Bournemouth, hacking Pringle's shot off the line but Makienok pounces to covert from close range and Preston lead.

Goal! Bournemouth 0-1 Preston North End (Simon Makienok, 10)

Liverpool have also started brightly at Derby County with the returning Roberto Firmino trying his luck from range, but his effort sails over.

Jeff Reine-Adelaide has been given the freedom of the no. 10 role this evening. We get a first glimpse of him on the ball this evening as he shoots from 20 yards out, but can't keep his effort down.

Pedro has the ball in the back of the net at the King Power Stadium, but it won't count with the offside flag raised. That was very close...

Here we go then. Our focus will be on the game at the City Ground but we will keep you updated on all eight games going on across the country tonight.

15 minutes from kick-off in tonight's games, here's another look at the much-changed Arsenal team to take on Nottingham Forest.

Martinez, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Gabriel, Gibbs, Elneny, Xhaka, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Reine-Adelaide, Akpom, Lucas

Subs: Macey, Bielik, Sheaf, Mavididi, Willock, Zelalem, Da silva

Loris Karius skipped Germany's Olympics campaign to concentrate on nailing down a first-team role at Liverpool. A broken hand suffered just weeks before the start of the new season derailed those plans temporarily however, but now the former Mainz goalkeeper is ready to make his debut tonight. Here is what Jurgen Klopp had to say about him on Monday.

In the moment when we signed him, you can imagine we thought 'he's not too bad' and that's how it is. He was a really, really, really strong Bundesliga goalkeeper.

"It's a sign if at this age you are already a goalkeeper in the Bundesliga. I saw his way, from a very, very bad start at Mainz when nobody really wanted him, to an outstanding goalkeeper. That's what I was interested in. I spoke to him, then took him, that's what we got - he's a really good goalkeeper," the German coach explained.

The pick of tonight's fixtures is a clash between Premier League champions Leicester City and Chelsea. You can follow all the action at the King Power Stadium here.

While Jurgen Klopp has opted to name many of his first-team players this evening, some managers are using tonight as an opportunity to ring in the changes. Eddie Howe has changed his entire starting XI for Bournemouth's clash with Preston.

Maro Grujic comes into the Liverpool XI this evening that also includes Roberto Firmino, after he recovered from a groin injury suffered before Friday's match with Chelsea.

Two former Gunners start against Arsene Wenger's side this evening. Henri Lansbury, who cut ties with the Gunners four years ago, and Nicklas Bendtner, back in English football after a two year absence, feature in the Nottingham Forest starting XI.

Changes everywhere for Arsenal. Maitland-Niles slots in at right-back while there are starts for summer signings Granit Xhaka and Lucas Perez. Reine-Adelaide starts in the Mesut Ozil role. Arsene Wenger has predictably named a very young bench which includes Gedion Zelalem and Chis Willock.

Breaking: Roberto Firmino returns to the Liverpool starting XI while Loris Karius makes his debut for the club in goal.

Breaking: Jeff Reine-Adélaïde starts through the middle in a much-changed Arsenal side this evening. Lucas Perez leads up front.

Nicklas Bendtner is back in English football. After having his contract at Wolfsburg terminated 14 months ahead of schedule, the 28-year-old signed a two year deal at the City Ground on the final day of the summer transfer window.

A lack of football has delayed his introduction to the first team but, as sometimes happens in football, fate has drawn him opposite the man who brought him to these shores.

I'm really looking forward to a great match in a sold-out stadium. I'm sure there's going to be a great atmosphere. The focus is purely on getting the win for Nottingham Forest. It'll be a tough game against a strong Arsenal side but we are very confident.

"I will celebrate if I score tomorrow night but I won't go crazy. I have a lot of love and respect for Arsenal as a club. Montanier and Wenger are two managers who want to play football in the right way. It should make for an entertaining game.

Team news: Liverpool

After coming within touching distance of the trophy last season, Jurgen Klopp plans to name a strong XI this evening. Roberto Firmino was a late withdrawal from Friday's Premier League clash with Chelsea but returned to training on Monday and could be in contention tonight. Klopp did indicate however that Mamadou Sakho is still not ready having not played for the club since last April.

There could also be a debut for Loris Karius this evening.

Team news: Arsenal

Gabriel could make his first appearance of the season. The centre-half picked up an ankle injury during pre-season but Arsene Wenger spoke confidently of the Brazilian returning this evening. Olivier Giroud missed the weekend victory over Hull City after suffering a toe injury in the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, while no risks will be taken with Aaron Ramsey this evening. Wenger is expected to shake-up his starting XI, which should mean starts for Rob Holding, Lucas Perez and Chuba Akpom.

Team news: Nottingham Forest

It's the return of the king tonight. Nicklas Bendtner could line up against his former club with Forest manager Philippe Montanier telling the press on Monday the Dane is now ready to start for his new club. The Championship side will be without Britt Assombalonga however, along with Thomas Lam and Damien Perquis.

Six Premier League clubs are in action this evening as the EFL Cup third round gets underway. Clubs at the top end of English football traditionally view this competition in a somewhat disparaging light; a chance to award some youngsters with a first-team run out or to throw fringe player the chance to get some minutes under his belt. Arsenal were one of the many clubs to opt for that approach last year and suffered a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday.

While away trips up and down the country during the week don't paint the most glamorous picture, Liverpool battled their way through the early rounds last season and were rewarded with a trip to Wembley. A penalty shoot-out saw them miss out on what would have been their first trophy under Jurgen Klopp. With no European football this season, Liverpool might fancy another cup run to keep themselves occupied until the weekend.

There are eight fixtures in all this evening, all getting underway at 7:45pm. We will bring you updates from each of them throughout the night with team news coming up shortly.
