1926: TEAM NEWS Burnley v Portsmouth
Burnley make five changes and Sylvain Distin is Portsmouth's only survivor from the team that beat Blackburn 48 hours ago.

1921: TEAM NEWS Reading v Liverpool
Wholesale changes for both. Reading rest some regulars and bring in the likes of Bobby Convey and Andre Bikey, who scored in this fixture last season. Fernando Torres gets a start for Liverpool. The Spaniard will be playing alongside Peter Crouch.

David Oates and Leroy Rosenior are manning the mics at the Madejski Stadium for BBC Radio 5live Sports Extra.

1918: TEAM NEWS West Brom v Cardiff
The night's all-Championship tie, but they are taking different attitudes into this competition. West Brom make seven changes and have a fancy-sounding team that includes exotic names such as Martis, Tininho and Pele... probably not that one. City travel with a first-choice team.

1916: TEAM NEWS Manchester City v Norwich
Maybe Sven-Goran Eriksson thinks there are bigger footballing fish to fry and doesn't really want to win this competition because heplumped for Georgios Samaras in a team featuring nine changes. That doesn't suggest the City are looking to batter Norwich, who include Citizen old boy Lee Croft.

1915: Eight games of Carling Cup, and whatever your thoughts on the competition, the players can't wait to get out there. Team news is already coming in slightly thick and a little, bit fast.
