Carabao Cup clockwatch: Birmingham v Fuham, Everton v Doncaster and more – live | Carabao Cup

Birmingham, who have made a great start to their League One campaign, eye a shock at St Andrews. Chris Davies may well be a manager going places at Blues, who have recovered well from last season’s Wayne Rooney folly.

The first goal of the night! That early game between Boro and Stoke is still 0-1, Stoke’s Emre Tezgel got it.

The major team news: Fulham make 11 changes, Leicester make eight changes, with no Vardy. Tranmere’s goalie is Joe Murphy – he played in that 2000 final linked below – he’s 43 now. Sean Dyche names a strong Everton team, and Palace name Marc Guehi despite all that transfer speculation.

Crystal Palace v Norwich teams

Crystal Palace: Henderson, Mitchell, Guehi, Riad, Munoz, Doucoure, Hughes, Clyne, Kamada, Eze, Mateta. Subs: Johnstone, Ward, Sarr, Lerma, Schlupp, Wharton, Edouard, Richards, Ahamada.

Norwich: Long, Fisher, Hanley, Cordoba, Chrisene, Nunez, Gibbs, Forsyth, Amankwah, Hernandez, Crnac. Subs: Mair, Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Hills, McLean, Schwartau, Sargent, Sainz.

Leicester v Tranmere teams

Leicester: Ward, Ricardo Pereira, Okoli, Faes, Thomas, Skipp, Winks, Ndidi, Mavididi, Ayew, McAteer. Subs: Iversen, Justin, Coady, Nelson, Choudhury, Fatawu, De Cordova-Reid, Alves, Popov.

Tranmere: Murphy, Norman, Davies, Walker, Turnbull, Jennings, O’Connor, Merrie, Patrick, Saunders, Davison. Subs: McGee, Bradshaw, Morris, Dennis, Solomon, Wood, Williams.

Birmingham v Fulham teams

Birmingham: Allsop, Laird, Klarer, Bielik, Cochrane, Paik, Leonard, Anderson, Willumsson, Hansson, May. Subs: Peacock-Farrell, Sampsted, Davies, Khela, Roberts, Hall, Miyoshi, Yokoyama, Jutkiewicz.

Fulham: Benda, Castagne, Cuenca, Andersen, Sessegnon, Berge, Reed, Wilson, Cairney, Stansfield, Jimenez. Subs: Leno, Tete, Bassey, Lukic, King, Smith Rowe, Traore, Iwobi, Rodrigo Muniz.

The early game is at Middlesbrough, who welcome Stoke. The 2004 and 1972 winners will be looking to the Championship rather than the only competition they have won even if Boro did smash Leeds in the previous round. That one kicks off at 7.15pm.

There’s five Premier League teams involved, including a Sussex derby and a rerun of the 2000 final. Clint Hill, Dave Challinor, Matt Elliott and Steve Guppy: ah, memories. The Old Wembley, too.
