12 min: The City Ground rises to applaud Brian Clough, 12 years after his death. It’s a great atmosphere in Nottingham, “You’ve only come to see the Arsenal” sing the visiting fans. “Champions of Europe – you’ll never sing that” reply the Forest faithful.
Arsenal are lucky to still be level, after Bendtner pressured Gabriel into a mistake at the back, before the Dane squared the ball to Kasami, who sliced wide from the edge of the box. With Martinez out of position in the Arsenal goal, it was easier to score.
8.00pm BST
Full-time in Ligue 1’s early game, and Toulouse have won 2-1 away at Lille, with former Sunderland striker Ola Toivonen getting both goals for the visitors.
7.57pm BST
The first EFL Cup goal of the night – the Danish striker Simon Makienok, on a one-year loan deal from Italian Serie A side Palermo, finds some space at the back post and makes no mistake.
7.55pm BST
Carney cuts inside on her right foot, feinting to shoot, before smashing a deflected strike past the Belgium goalkeeper. It’s now finished there, so a 2-0 win for the Lionesses, they top Group 7.

Peeeeeep! The EFL Cup ties are underway. Keep an eye out for Bournemouth’s Tyrone Mings, who is making his first appearance since the beginning of last season. Mings became
the Cherries’ record signing last June, but was
ruled out for the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury on the first day of the season against Leicester.
7.46pm BST
Very strong Liverpool team out tonight: Coutinho, Origi and Firmino forming a potent front three against a Derby side that has struggled so far this season in the Championship. With no European football this season, it’s obvious that Klopp are targeting Cup glory, with the carrot of a Europa League spot at stake for the EFL Cup winners, that’s no surprise.
1 – Liverpool have been eliminated from just one of their last 13 League Cup ties against lower league opposition. Bullies.
7.42pm BST
No Joey Barton of course for Rangers tonight, after the Englishman
was suspended for three weeks by the Glasgow club. The Guardian’s Donald McRae sat down with Barton, who is also under investigation
for allegedly breaking betting rules.

Nikita Parris scores her third England goal in just her third England appearance, heading the ball home – all 5ft4in of her! Remember England are already qualified for Euro 2017, but will finish top of their group with a win here.
7.29pm BST
Dortmund are on fire! After
disposing of Darmstadt 6-0 on Saturday, Dortmund are already 2-0 away in Lower Saxony – Aubameyang latching onto a clever backheel from Raphael Guerreiro, beating his man and finishing cooly in the the corner. The man is a class act. Guerreiro had earlier given Dortmund the lead with a deflected effort.
Nice goal by

Nottingham Forest will hold a 12th-minute tribute to Brian Clough in their match against Arsenal tonight – it is 12 years since the great man died.
Derby County will also hold a minute’s silence in memory of club stalwart, Gordon Guthrie MBE, who served as a player, a club physiotherapist/trainer, and kit manager serving over a dozen managers, including Brian Clough. He has a stand named after him at the iPro stadium.

Lots of different football matches, kicking off at lots of different times, a night of chaos beckons! I’ll be doing my best to help you see the Chris Wood from the Tricky Trees – but if you happen to be at tonight’s games for some actual insight or even if you’re not and just fancy giving your 2p’s worth, do get in touch via michael.butler@theguardian.com or tweet
@michaelbutler18.
Here are the main matches we will be following tonight, plus a smattering from League One, La Liga, Scotland and the rest of the Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

Michael will be here shortly. In the meantime, here’s Daniel Taylor on Nottingham Forest’s impressive youth policy:
It is probably a reflection of Nottingham Forest’s difficulties in the modern era that when they renew acquaintances with
Arsenal on Tuesday it will be the first time in the 21st century they have encountered the club who wear the same colours because it was Forest, 130 years ago, who donated a red strip to help set them up.
The last occasion the two sides met was in January 1999 when Ron Atkinson had just been appointed as Forest’s manager and infamously began his short, undistinguished spell more like Rowan Atkinson by climbing into the wrong dugout. Forest, with the fingers of relegation closing round their necks, lost 1-0 and it was their next home game when they played in a nine-goal thriller against Manchester United that is still talked about on the banks of the Trent. Unfortunately for Forest, they scored only one of the goals.
