Today on LiveScore: All eyes on the Carabao Cup second round

The Carabao Cup takes centre stage tonight as a host of Premier League clubs get going in the second round.

We pick out the fringe players hoping to impress if given a chance and turn the spotlight on Brighton following their perfect start to the season.

Players in the shop window

Top-flight bosses often see English football’s secondary domestic trophy as a chance to hand some action to players not in the first-team picture.

There will also be stars unimpressed with their lack of minutes looking to secure moves before next week’s transfer deadline.

Ahead of the Carabao Cup second-round ties, we pick out five players who might want to put themselves in the shop window for potential buyers.

Seagulls flying

It has been an excellent start to the campaign for Graham Potter’s men, with the Seagulls one of only five sides still boasting a 100% league record.

They were labelled the division’s unluckiest team last season but wins over Burnley and Watford have delivered fresh optimism on the South Coast.

Ahead of their cup clash with Cardiff this evening, we assess whether Potter's side can become consistent enough to secure a top-half finish come May. 

And there's more

All the latest transfer rumours are covered in our daily column as the window enters its final week.

Arsenal are again in the headlines, with reports that the club's board are set to give under-fire boss Mikel Arteta additional funds to bring in more reinforcements. 

You can also keep up to date with all the confirmed deals so far in our Premier League transfer file.

And there will be news from a host of other top sports throughout the day, so there is only one place you need to be to stay in the know.
