Everton 0 Manchester United 1 FT
Javier Hernandez scored the only goal of the match in the 17th minute for United. They stay second and put the pressure on rivals City. Everton battled well but could not score or take any chances well. United put last week's 6-1 defeat to rivals City behind them but are not back to their best. Their defence is unstable and athlough they won today, Everton lack strikers and lacked a goal threat throughout the match. If they had faced one of the top six in the EPL, the result would have been different.

TONIGHT's Carling Cup Action:

(All EPL teams)

Stoke City vs Liverpool: LIVE from 19:45pm

Liverpool have Lucas Leiva available again as he is back from his one match suspension. Kenny Daglish is expected to make a number of chancges to his squad but Craig Bellamy may start for The Reds. Defender Daniel Agger came back into the team that drew wtih Norwich following his rib injury and may also start tonight. Defender Jonathan Woodgate may return for Stoke following his month out with a calf injury. Winger Jermaine Pennant will be assessed before he can play against his former club as he has been out for two matches with a hamstring problem. Danny Higginbotham may play some part of the match as part of his return as he has not played since April. Liverpool will want to win and get revenge from their 1-0 loss against Stoke earlier in the season, but they know that it will not be easy. Stoke want to bounce back from the 3-1 loss against Arsenal on Sunday but it will be a very interesting match at The Brittania.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City: LIVE from 19:45pm

Manchester City midfielder Owen Hargeaves is injured with a slight calf problem. Wolves will recall many players including Nenad Milijas, Jody Craddock, Stephen Hunt and George Elokobi to start for them. City will be very shocked if they lose against a weak Wolves team although Roberto Mancini will make changes to the side that beat United 6-1 on Sunday. Wolves will try and bring their game to City and could surprise everyone by winning but it is unlikely.

Everton vs Chelsea: LIVE from 20:00pm

This match comes from Goodison Park as Everton host Chelsea. Chelsea will look to their youngsters and fringe players to start for them. Didier Drogba, Jose Bosingwa and Ashley Cole are all suspended while Raul Meireles is cup-tied and everyone who started their 1-0 loss against QPR on Sunday will be rested or on the bench. Tim Cahill and Louis Saha may both start for Everton and posses a real threat to Chelsea. Victor Anichebe and James McFadden are both still out with a groin problem and fitness issues following an injury respectively. Chelsea will want to progress through to the last 8 and forget about the 1-0 London Derby loss to QPR on Sunday but it may be tough for them and the match may go to extra time and even penalties like the last round.

Blackburn Rovers vs Newcastle United: Live from 20:00pm

This match comes from Ewood Park as Blackburn Rovers entertain EPL highflyers Newcastle. Cheik Tiote and Shola Ameobi are both out due to a knee problem and hamstring injury respectively. Defender Steven Talyor is doubtful due to a broken nose that he suffered in the win against Wigan on Saturday. Blackburn manager Steve Kean will look to play a reasonably strong side and will want a win to boost morale. He is in trouble as he has only won one game out of nine in the EPL and Blackburn find themselves bottom of the table. Blackburn may win after extra-time as Newcastle's injuries may get to them. This maybe a cagey affair with one goal in it or be decided in extra-time/penalties.

He has my vote.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has ordered Chelsea scouts to watch Portuguese midfielder Vitor Gomes.

Good buy in my opinion.... He doesn't want to play in the Championship and Newcastle need to boost their defnce to get a top 10 finish this season.

Just buy Eden Hazard for £25million and get out of there before Manchester City snap him up just like Chelsea did with Juan Mata..... He is the ideal Nasri replacement.

Manchester United are back on the trail of Spain Under-21 and Atletico Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez.

Tomorrow's EPL Previews:
Manchester United vs Manchester City: LIVE from 13:30pm

This mouth watering derby comes from Old Trafford as Manchester United face rivals Manchester City.
United won the EPL last season and City won the F.A. Cup last season.
United have won the last three meetings but City have strengthened their squad massively with signings Nasri, Aguero and Hargeaves who when partnered up with Silva, Dzeko and Balotelli are lethal. City also bolstered their defence buying Arsenal defender Gael Clichy to partner Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott and Vincent Kompany. Both teams have playing well this season scoring over 50 goals in a combined 16 games.
City are currently 1st and ahead of United by 2 points, who are 2nd. United on the other hand got to the Champions League final last season before losing 3-1 to Barcelona. Both teams are unbeaten this season so far and with the likes of Rooney, Silva, Young, Nani, Nasri, Aguero, Hernandez and Dzeko this is sure to be one of the biggest games this season.

Rio Ferdinand has been recalled to the Manchester United squad. He is fit and could partner captain Vidic for the first time since the first game of the season. Rafael has a shoulder injury and is still sidelined along with Tom Cleverley who is expected to return to training on Monday following a foot injury in the 5-0 win against Bolton last month. Manchester City have no new injury concerns wtih Mario Balotelli back from suspension and Owen Hargeaves to be assessed. Carlos Tevez is highly unlikely not to play any part of the match against his former club after his disciplinary hearings.

Arsenal vs Stoke City: LIVE from 13:30pm 
This very interesting match comes from The Emirates as two very good teams go head to head.
Arsenal have only won 3 out of their last 8 matches this season but are slowly improving. They face a tough test against Stoke who hope to qualify for the Europa League again this season. Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson misses out due to a knee problem he picked up against Marseille. Kieran Gibbs is also out with a stomach muscle problem. Defender Thomas Vermaelen is out of action but back in training. Abou Diaby is out for at least 2 weeks and Jack Wilshere will not feature until December at the earliest. Stoke manager Tony Pulis will assess the fitness of former Arsenal midfielder Jermaine Pennant as he did not feature in Stoke's 3-0 win against Tel Aviv on Thursday. Danny Higginbotham may feature after being sidelined since April with a knee injury. Arsenal will be expecting at least a draw wit tohether. Stoke will look to cross the ball to Crouch in the box to cause havoc and could grab all three points tomorrow.

Blackburn Rovers vs Tottenham Hotspur: LIVE from 15:00pm
Scott Parker, Gareth Bale and Rafael Van De Vaart are all to be recalled as they were rested during Tottenham's midweek game against Rubin Kasan.

Tom Huddlestone is still sidelined with an ankle injury. Blackburn Rovers defender Michel Salgado will miss the game due to a hamstring injury. David Dunn, Vince Greta and Ryan Nelson are all sidelined for Blackburn. Tottenham will be expecting a win on their current form and with a strong squad it will be easier against an under performing Blackburn who are in the bottom half of the table.

Fulham vs Everton: LIVE from 13:30pm

This match comes from Craven Cottage as Fulham take on Everton. The Toffees have not been scoring many goals this season with the lack of strikers and they could struggle this season if they do not purchase anyone in the January transfer window. Fulham on the other hand have made good progress in Europe this season and their key players who were rested in midweek are all fit to play against Everton. James McFadden is unlikely to feature in the match as he works his way back to full fitness. Victor Anichebe is also out with a groin problem but other than that manager David Moyes has a full squad to choose from. Leighton Baines and Tim Cahill will be the key players for Everton as they look to get back to winning ways.

Bobby Zamora, Clint Dempsey and Danny Murphy are all returning from being rested in midweek and will be joined by Phillipe Senderos and Zdenek Grygera who recovered from knocks. Striker Byran Ruiz faces a late fitness test but Simon Davies and Orlando Sa are both sidelined.

Fulham will be disappointed for anything other than a win against Everton especially with all their key players returning but both teams need a win to get out for the bottom five.

QPR vs Chelsea: LIVE from 16:00pm
This match comes from Loftus Road as two london clubs collide. QPR will be the under dogs as they face an in form Chelsea who are third in the table. Ramires misses out as he has a knee injury. John Terry, Didier Drogba and Juan Mata are set to return after they were rested in midweek during the 5-0 thrashing against Genk. Fernando Torres serves the last installment of his three match ban. QPR defender Danny Gabbidon has not recovered from a knee injury and will miss the game. Striker Adel Taarabt has suffered from a mild virus but is likely to be fit for the match. Keiron Dyer and DJ Campbell are both sidelined.
Chelsea will be very disappointed for anything other than a win but QPR may challenge them with the likes of Taarabt, SWP and Barton and try and get at least a draw.

FACT: 5 London Clubs are set to play in the EPL on Sunday.
