Chelsea and Spurs go through ...

Chelsea v Aston Villa: Ben Chilwell misses for Chelsea and Emi Buendia keeps Villa in contention. It’s down to Reece James, who wins the match for Chelsea with a confident spot-kick.

Wolves v Tottenham: Tottenham Hotspur go through on penalties after Conor Coady adds his name to Wolves’s list of shame.

Chelsea v Aston Villa: Marvelous Nakamba fails to live up to his name, missing Villa’s third.

Wolves v Tottenham: Wolves have missed two spot-kicks against Tottenham. The guilty men: Ruben Neves and Leander Dendoncker.

Chelsea v Aston Villa: Possibly still fuming with the ref, Ashley Young misses Villa’s secopnd penalty, hitting the bar. Romelu Lukaku gives Chelsea the advantage.

Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa: We’ve had three coin-tosses at Stamford Bridge, where Villa skipper Ashley Young is furious with the referee over his apparent inability to toss a coin properly. To be fair, you’d think that would be an important pre-requisite for the job. How curious.

Full time: Arsenal 3-0 AFC Wimbledon

AFC Wimbledon go out with their heads held high but Arsenal’s class showed in the end. Alexandre Lacazette, Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah got the goals that send Arsenal into the next round.

Full time: Manchester United 0-1 West Ham

West Ham gain revenge of sorts for Sunday’s defeat at the hands of Manchester United by advancing at the expense of their hosts. It’s their first win at Old Trafford since 2007.

Full time: Millwall 0-2 Leicester City

Leicester are through to the last 16 courtesy of goals from Ademola Lookman and Kelechi Iheanacho.

GOAL! Millwall 0-2 Leicester City (Iheanacho 88)

I won’t lie, I missed this one as I was glued to proceedings at Old Trafford, where the game between West Ham and Manchester United has turned into a real thriller.

Manchester United 0-1 West Ham: Oh no! Mark Noble blows his chance at redemption after that miss on Sunday, latching on to a pass from Jarrod Bowen as West Ham gallop upfield on the counter-attack. With only Dean Henderson to beat and the goal at his mercy, he fires straight at the goalkeeper. Moments previously, Yarmalenko had missed an even easier chance for West Ham, knocking the ball against the foot of the post with an empty goal to aim at from a tight angle.

Manchester United 0-1 West Ham: It’s backs to the wall time for West Ham, who are hanging in there against a Manchester United side that are laying siege to their goal. Mason Greenwood has been a constant thorn in their side since coming on and is hammering on the Hammers’ door, but the visitors remain in the lead.

GOAL! Arsenal 3-0 AFC Wimbledon (Nketiah 80)

My word! Eddie Nketiah scores with an audacious sweep of his heel, connecting with a cross from the right. That was Cruyff-esque in its execution.

Full time: Brighton 2-0 Swansea City

For all their second half huffing and puffing, Swansea were unable to breach the Brighton rearguard and are out of the Carabao Cup. Aaron Connolly scored the first half goals that see Brighton into the last 16.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 AFC Wimbledon (Smith-Rowe 77)

On as substitutes, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe combine in the AFC Wimbledon penalty area with the young No10 drilling home from close range.

Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa: Oof! Having been teed up by Timo Werner, Mason Mount performs a soft-shoe shuffle in the Villa penalty area and rolls a low diagonal effort wide of the far post when scoring looked a formality.

Wolves 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur: John Ruddy gets a strong hand to Harry Kane’s effort to maintain the status quo at Molineux.

Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa: Close but no cigar for Aston Villa. Anwar El Ghazi doesn’t hit the ball hard enough from an excellent position, making the save easy for Kepa.

Arsenal 1-0 AFC Wimbledon: It remains 1-0 to the Arsenal, as the chant goes, but Eddie Nketiah has missed an opportunity to put the game beyond their League One visitors by hitting the woodwork.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Aston Villa (Archer 64)

Having missed two decent chances for Villa so far, Cameron Archer scores with a fantastic header, nodding home a wonderful crossfield ball from Matty Cash.

Manchester United 0-1 West Ham: With no VAR avaialable, Nemaja Matic somehow gets away with kneeing Vladimir Coufal in the undercrackers moments after they had contested the ball. That was an outrageous bif of afters. Soon afterwards, Mason Greenwood replaces Juan Mata and misses a one-on-one after being played in behind by a Donny van de Beek ball over the top. Good save from Areola.

GOAL! Wolves 2-2 Tottenham (Podence 58)

Daniel Podence slots into the corner after being played in by Dendoncker moments after Tanguy Ndombele had been caught in possession in midfield. It’s all square at Molineux.

Chelsea 1-0 Aston Villa: Oh Timo. Not long after scoring a rare goal, Werner snatches as a shot and prods wide of the upright when scoring looked easier.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Aston Villa (Werner 54)

Timo Werner leaps highest at the far post to head Chelsea into the lead by getting on the end of a Hakim Ziyech inswinger from the right.

Wolves 1-2 Tottenham: Adama Traore is on as a half-time substitute for Wolves and is causing Tottenham all sorts of problems with his marauding runs down the right. It’s Tottenham who have had the most recent goalscoring opportunity, however, with Alphonse Areola getting down to save Harry Kane’s effort from a tight angle.

GOAL! Millwall 0-1 Leicester City (Lookman 50)

Ademola Lookman scores with Leicester’s second shot on target, firing home on the follow-up after Millwall goalkeeper George Long could only parry their first – Kelechi Iheanacho’s long range effort – into his path.

Manchester United 0-1 West Ham: Jadon Sancho runs in behind the West Ham to volley a Juan Mata dink over the top high and wide.

Chelsea 0-0 Aston Villa: In a reverse-substitution of the one that made such a big difference in Chelsea’s win against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, Mason Mount is on in the second half, with N’Golo Kante making way.

The Guardian’s chief sportswriter and resident Millwall fan tweets ...

James Maddison definitely had doing the rondo at half time at the Den in an orange bib on his career future highlight list

Brighton 2-0 Swansea City: The second half is under way at the Amex Stadium, where Swansea City look much improved after the break. The cross-bar and Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele have come to the home side’s rescue, as Swansea City pile on the pressure in the early stages of the second half. Korey Smith and Morgan Whittaker were the men who went close.

Millwall 0-0 Leicester: A chance of sorts for Millwall at The Den, where Ben Thompson sends a looping header over the bar to leave the ball nestling on the roof of the Leicester City net.

Chelsea 0-0 Aston: Kepa saves smartly from Aston Villa striker Cameron Archer, who was through on goal and should have scored. The ball breaks to Anwar El Ghazi, whose low drive fizzes narrowly wide.

Manchester United 0-1 West Ham: Craig Dawson leaves a nasty one in on Jadon Sancho, raking his studs down the winger’s achilles as the two of them contested the ball. It’s nasty but goes unpunished.
