A terrific performance from Burnley saw them beat Arsenals youngsters 2-0 whilst Derby also beat Premier League opposition in Stoke City 1-0, thanks to a Nathan Ellington penalty.
However, I can’t see any shocks in this evenings games, and i believe that the holders Tottenham Hotspur will beat Watford, and that Man United will see off Paul Ince’s Blackburn Rovers.

Didier Drogba looks likely to be in trouble with the FA following his act of stupidity on Wednesday evening in the League Cup defeat against Burnley, when the Ivory Coast striker threw a coin, originally thrown at him, back into the away fans. But does the Chelsea forward deserve to have the book thrown at him? Should he be fined and banned? And what of the Burnley fan who threw the coin in the first place. If found what should happen to him? Jamie Carragher was fined £40,000 (at the time 2 weeks wages) and given a three game ban for something similar at Highbury in 2002. Should a similar punishment be aimed at Drogba?
