League Cup 4th Cup Watch!
Afternoon, chaps! It's League Cup 4th Round time. There are a number of intriguing fixtures on tap today, but my eyes will be firmly on Elland Road. It's been nearly a decade since my beloved LUFC got to the 5th Round. Norwich City are the significant 4th Round obstacle. They're currently flying high in second in the Championship, while we're languishing in mid-table. Norwich, more than any other club, have raided our youth academy and senior squad, so that will add an extra edge to the affair.
Come on, you Whites!

We're away in this evening's EFL Cup matches. MOT!
Daniel Sturridge has fired Liverpool into the lead in tonight's big fixture. Grujic nipped in to shoot and when Spurs keep Wimmer parried it, Sturridge was in the right place to poke it across the line.
Bugger! Norwich have taken an away lead at Elland Road through Alex Pritchard.
This could be a long evening for us. Come on!
Newcastle are also 1-0 up over PNE at SJP.
The Ox has rattled in a goal for the Gunners against Reading on the half-hour mark.
Hull may have dropped into the dropzone in the Premiership, but Harry Maguire has fired them into the lead tonight against high flying Bristol City.
Mohamed Diame has added a second goal for Newcastle as we near half-time.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
Marcus Antonsson has scored a priceless goal for us - his first of the season - very much against the run of play. Great time to score, too, on the stroke of half-time.
Half-time in all of tonight's matches:
Arsenal 1-0 over Reading
Bristol City 0-1 down to Hull
Leeds at 1-1 with Norwich
Liverpool 0-1 down to Spurs
Newcastle 2-0 up over Preston North End
Second halfs starting up now in the League Cup tonight.
Michael Dawson has added a second goal for Hull right out the gate in the second half. Bristol City are up against it now.
Spurs have got one back through a penalty by Janssen. 2-1 at Anfield now - good game!
Still 1-1 at Elland Road. Cor!
Newcastle are now running away with the match at 4-0. Beating PNE for fun.
I don't know how we're hanging on to this one - Norwich have had 60% of the possession throughout the match.
Nearly full time now - I'm on my way home.
2-2 After Extra Time
Leeds played the full extra period a man down because of injury
LEEDS WON 3-2 on pens!!!
On to the quarters!!!!
What an evening!
We've hung on for a 3-2 win on penalties after a 2-2 draw at extra time, with Chris Wood coming off the bench to equalize in the 109th minute.
Marching on together into the Quarter finals of the EFL Cup!
