A low Malo Gusto cross from the right glanced into the bottom left, and it’s a second goal for Christopher Nkunku. What a delicious finish, too, a gentle backflick that foxes the keeper. It’s going to be a long evening for Barrow, for sure.

So much for that confident start by Barrow. João Félix wedges cutely over the visitors’ back line, and Christopher Nkunku slots under keeper-captain Paul Farman, who might have done better, but what an assist.

Keeper Jonathan Bond dithers when he should launch a ball passed back to him. Jack Grealish steps in and tees up Jeremy Doku, who sorts his feet on the edge of the D and slots into the bottom left. Memories of this already.

Whatever happens at Adams Park tonight, it’s party time for Wycombe, who are 137 years old today! It’s also midfielder Josh Scowen’s 500th career appearance. Hip, hip, etc., everyone.

Fourth-tier Walsall have already proved themselves to be cup specialists this season. They rescued themselves in round one of this tournament with a stoppage-time equaliser against Exeter City, then came from two down to beat Huddersfield Town. They’ve also beaten Birmingham City and Fulham U21 in the Football League Trophy.

A mere two days after that brouhaha with Arsenal, Pep Guardiola makes nine changes to his starting XI. The most notable new face: centre-back Kaden Braithwaite, who at 16 years and 229 days becomes the third-youngest full debutant in Manchester City’s history. (For the record, he’s behind Glyn Pardoe and Paul Simpson.) Erling Haaland gets the night off.

Watford also hand out a debut to a centre-back, albeit one at the other end of his career. Angelo Ogbonna, 36 years young, pulls on a Watford shirt for the first time after his summer move from West Ham.

Manchester City: Ortega, Walker, Stones, Braithwaite, Lewis, McAtee, O’Reilly, Matheus Luiz, Grealish, Foden, Doku.

Chelsea go League Cup to the max, changing their entire starting XI. Ben Chilwell, who had been expected to leave the club during the summer, is in the squad for the first time this season.

Barrow are top of League Two with five wins from their first seven matches. They’ve made it to Stamford Bridge after beating Port Vale and Derby County in the first two rounds.

Chelsea: Jorgensen, Gusto, Disasi, Badiashile, Veiga, Casadei, Dewsbury-Hall, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Mudryk, Nkunku.

Another four third-round League Cup ties tonight, then. It should have been five, but …

… and so what we’re left with is this.

They all kick off at 7.45pm BST, except the Wycombe-Villa match, which gets going at 8pm. All the goals as they go in, coming your way.
