Carabao Cup live: Man United heading for shock exit before Arsenal and Liverpool discover third-round opponents

It should be three! Grimsby cut Manchester United to ribbons and Darragh Burns looks set to slot home, only for a diving Ayden Heaven to make a miraculous block with his chest with Andre Onana beaten. Manchester United cling on.

A great thunderclap and flash of lightning overhead rather exemplify the storm brewing for Manchester United. Bryan Mbeumo has gone up alongside Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, with Amad Diallo dropping deeper into a wing back role.

A reminder that tonight sees the introduction of the nine Premier League clubs in European competition to the Carabao Cup – will Manchester United be joining many of the sides they would claim to rival in the third-round draw?

Bruno Fernandes is coming on at half time, Matthijs de Ligt and Bryan Mbeumo, too. Ruben Amorim knows he needs a spark.

Crikey. A major shock brewing at Blundell Park – and Mansfield remain very much in the mix at Everton’s new Hill-Dickinson Stadium, where kick off was delayed slightly. 0-0 at half time there.

The games between Fulham and Bristol City and Oxford and Brighton are back underway after the half-time interval, with the two Premier League sides sitting pretty at 2-0 up.

It could be quite the night for the capacity crowd in Grimsby – Tyrell Warren has doubled the home side’s lead after an error from Andre Onana, with Manchester United so far all at sea when dealing with crosses into the box.

Five minutes until half time…

Before then, though, there is a major story brewing at Blundell Park – Grimsby are 2-0 up against Manchester United!

Good evening and welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of the Carabao Cup third-round draw.
