EFL: Manchester United, City, Arsenal reach 4th round, see detailed results and round 4 fixtures

MANCHESTER UNITED

Marcus Rashford scored twice as holders Manchester United overpowered Burton Albion at Old Trafford to reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Championship Burton made nine changes and fell 1-0 down when Rashford dinked the ball over keeper Connor Ripley.

England forward Rashford made it 2-0 with a 20-yard finish before Jesse Lingard's deflected shot found the net.

Anthony Martial added the fourth from a Rashford assist, Lloyd Dyer scoring a stoppage-time consolation.
United will play away at Swansea City in the fourth round.

Elsewhere, it was a night devoid of shocks as Chelsea put five past Championship Nottingham Forest, Everton eased past Sunderland and Arsenal beat Doncaster Rovers 1-0.

MANCHESTER CITY

The closest to a shock came at the Hawthorns as West Brom scored a 72nd-minute equaliser against Manchester City before losing to Leroy Sane's second of the night.

ARSENAL 

Arsenal moved into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup as Theo Walcott's first-half goal saw off League One Doncaster Rovers at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners, who made 11 changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday, hit the crossbar early on through Olivier Giroud's overhead kick.


LIVERPOOL

Liverpool were dumped out of League Cup after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp’s free scoring Liverpool have found goals hard to come by of late, as the Merseysiders struggled to convert all nine of their first half chances against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium Tuesday night.

This follows the disappointing 1-1 draw at home after Burnley escaped from Anfield with a point on Saturday during their Premier League clash.

Leicester Manager Craig Shakespeare side had to do without the services of star striker Jamie Vardy, whilst German manager made eight changes including handing Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain his first start since his £40 million move to Merseyside on deadline day.
