It’s the best Palace have had to offer all night. Eze plays in Mateta inside the box and his shot is save by the foot of Andre Onana.

More defending Palace won’t be proud of.

Steve Bruce has been impressed watching on for Sky Sports.

GOAL – Bradford 0-2 Middlesbrough

Manchester United Team Talk

GOAL – Port Vale 1-0 Sutton

This game hasn’t got much love tonight, but Port Vale have opened the scoring through Josh Thomas.

GOAL – Mansfield 1-2 Peterborough

Back underway in the other games and Peterborough have completed the turnaround with a second of the night for Jonson Clarke-Harris

HALF TIME – Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace

Couldn’t have been more comfortable for Manchester United. Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Casemiro see them take a 2-0 lead into the break and at times it was almost like a training game.

Palace haven’t offered anything yet and let United have the ball. They’ll need something big here to make the second half any more than redundant.

Added time

They’ll be five minutes of added time

Mount effort

Mason Mount is still searching for his first United goal and went close with a cross-come-shot that stung the fingers of Johnstone and went out for a United corner.

Comfortable as it gets

Man Utd are in second gear now. Needs a big turnaround in the second half if Palace are to threaten to make a game of this.

Half times

The half time whistle has blown in the other six games, here are your latest scores…

Bradford 0-1 Middlesbrough

Exeter 0-0 Luton

Ipswich 2-2 Wolves

Mansfield 1-1 Peterborough

Port Vale 0-0 Sutton United

Salford 0-3 Burnley

What can Palace do?

We’ve seen nothing from Palace in an attacking sense yet, they need to get themselves into the game or it could be an uncomfortable night.

YELLOW CARD – Manchester United

It’s now a booking for United, with Hannibal shown a yellow after clipping Jordan Ayew.

YELLOW CARD – Crystal Palace

First booking of the night goes to Rob Holding after a foul on Anthony Martial

GOAL – Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace

Too easy for United. Mason Mount’s swings in a corner, Raphael Varane’s run takes out the Crystal Palace defence and the ball is glanced in by Casemiro and that’s 2-0.

GOAL – Ipswich 2-2 Wolves

Quite the first half at Portman Road, as Ipswich draw level with a goal from Freddie Ladapo

Dalot in the mood

That goal has sparked United more into life and once again they get in down the right flank, but Dalot’s shot is saved at his near post by Johnstone.

GOAL – Man Utd 1-0 Crystal Palace

Neat move from United down the right flank that sees Diogo Dalot stepping into midfield, and providing a cross that finds Alejandro Garnacho to slot the ball into the bottom corner

All square in this one as Jonson Clarke-Harris equalises for Posh.

Sam Johnstone replaces the former United stopper.

GOAL – Salford 0-3 Burnley

Vincent Kompany’s side are running riot over Salford. Anass Zaroury makes it 3-0 to Burnley.

Amrabat skies one

It’s not the best first impression for Sofyan Amrabat, Pellistri sends the ball across the edge of the box and the Morccan runs onto it with a shot that is mishit and he skies it over the bar.

GOAL – Bradford 0-1 Middlesbrough

It’s the Championship side who make their early dominance count and open the scoring through Emmanuel Latte Lath.

GOAL – Salford 0-2 Burnley

The Clarets are cruising and double their advantage through Jacob Bruun Larsen.

Wolves are making light work of Championship high-flyers Ipswich.

Toti has doubled their lead at Portman Road, volleying in after Santiago Bueno’s header had been saved.

Henderson back

There’s a nice easy early touch for Dean Henderson in the Palace goal.

The keeper is making his debut tonight against the club he left in the summer.

And we're off

Manchester United get us underway…

GOAL – Salford 0-1 Burnley

It’s the perfect start for Burnley as Sander Berge nets his first for the club to put Vincent Kompany’s side 1-0 up at Saldford.

Focus on Old Trafford

The teams are out at Old Trafford, and we’re about to kick-off in this Carabao Cup third round tie.

GOAL – Ipswich 0-1 Wolves

The first goal of the evening comes at Portman Road as Premier League Wolves take the lead through Hwang Hee-chan.

Bruce defends Maguire
