13 Premier League clubs had some mid-week action in the Carabao Cup. Some were shocked while others showed why they are in the Top Flight.

Leicester City 4-0 Fleetwood Town

The Foxes made quick work of Fleetwood Town with their reserves. Christian Fuchs, Vicente Iborra, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Rachid Ghezzal all got goals and progressed Leicester to round three.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-2 Wolves

Wolves unbeaten run goes to two as they win on the road against Sheffield Wednesday. Leo and Helder Costa scored against the Owls to take Nuno Santo further in what could be a deep cup run for Wolves.

Stoke City 2-0 Huddersfield

Our first EPL exit is from Huddersfield Town, who continue to underperform and are now out of the Carabao Cup. Saido Berahino broke his two-year goal drought as Stoke City get their second straight win.
