  It's time for all the Premier League teams not playing in Europe to join the party. There's generally a few upsets at this stage, who do you fancy to get turned over tonight?
  
  Here are all the fixtures:
  
  Barnsley v Southampton
  Bristol City v Crystal Palace
  Burnley v Preston North End
  Burton Albion v Fulham
  Carlisle United v Leicester City
  Derby County v Brentford
  Doncaster Rovers v Leeds United
  Huddersfield Town v Charlton Athletic
  Leyton Orient v Hull City
  Liverpool v Notts County
  Norwich City v Bury
  Peterborough United v Reading
  Queens Park Rangers v Swindon Town
  Sunderland v Milton Keynes Dons
  Tranmere Rovers v Bolton Wanderers
  West Ham United v Cheltenham Town
  Yeovil Town v Birmingham City
  West Bromwich Albion v Newport County AFC
  
  I'm going for Bristol City to beat Palace and MK Dons to surprise Sunderland. Also think Notts County will run Liverpool close, extra time maybe, but eventually go out.
  
  Giant-killing predictions please!

  i think liverpool are gonna destroy county tonight, their squd is decent now and i'd make them one of the favs for this trophy. i don't really see many upsets tonight, but there usually is.

  Already 1-0 up as well, and I was questioning Sterling earlier too. He scored.
  
  MK dons just went ahead against Sunderland though, so that one's still on.

  i think he's got talent, but well overrated like all young english players. they have a decent squad now liverpool, imagine if dagliesh hadn't fucked them up with crap signings.

  Yep. That £55m dropped on Carroll and Downing alone could have come in handy. I think Jordan Henderson will prove to be worth the money though.

  of the three he was the best signing easily. u think what they could have got the that 55 mil. when he got 50 for torres i thought he was genius, then i saw he payed 35 for carroll i realised he wasn't,

  Ah, but the Torres fee was Carroll plus £15m, they love a net spend stat up there.
  
  Peterborough are 3-0 up against Reading and it's not even halftime yet. Cupset!

  It was definitely a strange one that. Peterborough have looked good so far this year but you had a strong side out. There's losing and there's losing... I'm sure Nige will turn it around though.
  
  A few more upsets too. I called the Bristol City one and MK Dons nearly proved me right too. They went 2-0 up at Sunderland but ended up losing 4-2. Fulham needed a penalty shootout to get past League 2 side Burton but Bolton weren't so lucky. Well done Tranmere.
  
  Here are the results in full:
  
  Barnsley 1-5 Southampton
  Bristol City 2-1 Crystal Palace
  Burnley 2-0 Preston
  Burton 2-2 Fulham (Fulham win 5-4 on penalties)
  Carlisle 2-5 Leicester
  Derby 5-0 Brentford
  Doncaster 1-3 Leeds
  Huddersfield 3-2 Charlton
  Leyton Orient 0-1 Hull
  Liverpool 4-2 Notts County
  Norwich 6-3 Bury
  Peterborough 6-0 Reading
  QPR 0-2 Swindon
  Sunderland 4-2 MK Dons
  Tranmere 1-1 Bolton (Tranmere win 4-2 on penalties)
  West Ham 2-1 Cheltenham
  Yeovil 3-3 Birmingham (Birmingham win 3-2 on penalties)
  West Brom 3-0 Newport
  
  There are 7 ties tonight as well:
  
  Accrington v Cardiff
  Aston Villa v Rotherham
  Everton v Stevenage
  Morecambe v Newcastle
  Nottm Forest v Millwall
  Stoke v Walsall
  Watford v Bournemouth
  
  Newcastle look most likely to fuck it up from where I'm sitting.
  
  What are you saying?
