    Also, there is Copa del Rey,DFB Pokal and a League One game (Leeds playing) today as well.

    Re: Carling Cup action today

    Obertan is REALLY good. I saw him play a lot when I was watching the Toulouse Tournament (that Chile won BTW, beat France twice). But he was the best player in the tournament.

    Re: Carling Cup action today

    His match rating should be pretty high, so he could be team captain of the reserves soon and then move up to the first team. Who knows then he could get called up to the national team. As long as he keeps practicing his skills and getting achievements like this, the sky is the limit.

    Re: Carling Cup action today

    captain of reserves usually goes to brown or neville, but yes i think he could have national team in his future. he will however never be a part of of starting 11, macheda plays both better and smarter football than welbeck. he does get mad flair points. :angrycorn:

    Re: Carling Cup action today

    Was trying to make a "Be a Pro" comparison, since this game reminds me of those you play when you begin your career on Be a Pro.

    Obertan had a wide open chance and blew it just now.

    Leeds has taken the lead as has Blackburn.

    Wednesday Games

    Arsenal v Liverpool
    Chelsea v Bolton
    Manchester City v Scunthorpe United

    Team News

    Arsenal v Liverpool

    Alberto Aquilani could make his Liverpool first-team debut in the Carling Cup tie against at Arsenal at the Emirates.

    The £20 million Italian midfielder has been recovering from a knee operation since his arrival at the club in the summer, but was fully involved in Liverpool's training this week, and is clearly being considered for a role - possibly from the bench - in the fourth-round tie.

    Liverpool are being wary over talking up Aquilani's possible debut despite his playing 15 minutes for the reserves last week. Boss Rafael Benitez is expected to make a final decision early on Wednesday morning before the squad travel to London for the match.

    Defenders Andrea Dossena and Sotirios Kyrgiakos could also figure having recovered from injuries.

    Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are set to sit the match out, while Albert Riera (hamstring) and Martin Kelly (ankle) are also injured.

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is likely to stick with the core of the young side that looked impressive in the previous round against West Brom, with Carlos Vela, Sanchez Watt, Fran Merida, Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere all likely to feature.

    Midfielder Samir Nasri and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski are set for their first starts of the season after shaking off injuries, while Wenger is expected to field and experienced defence that includes Philippe Senderos and Mikael Silvestre.

    Chelsea v Bolton Wanderers

    Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti will make wholesale changes to his league-topping side for the Carling Cup clash with Bolton at Stamford Bridge.

    John Terry, Petr Cech, Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are all likely to be rested.

    Paulo Ferreira, Alex, Deco, Daniel Sturridge, Florent Malouda and Salomon Kalou are all set to start, while Nemanja Matic, Jeffrey Bruma and Fabio Borini will be on the bench alongside Lampard, Drogba and Essien.

    Jose Bosingwa (knee), Ashley Cole (ankle), Yury Zhirkov (knee) and John Mikel Obi (knee) are all sidelined.

    For Bolton, Swedish striker Johan Elmander is set to return to the side.

    The 28-year-old has been missing with a hamstring injury, but is now back in full training and should be available for the match at Stamford Bridge.

    Bolton manager Gary Megson has no other major injury concerns aside from those involving long-term absentees Joey O'Brien and Sean Davis, who both have knee problems.

    Manchester City v Scunthorpe United

    Manchester City manager Mark Hughes will be without Kolo Toure and Martin Petrov for the Carling Cup match against Scunthorpe.

    Toure and Petrov are suffering from heel and knee injuries respectively while Roque Santa Cruz remains doubtful for the fourth round match with tonsilitis.

    Wayne Bridge is expected to recover from a knee problem and Pablo Zabaleta is available again after missing the draw against Fulham because of a one-match ban.

    Blues boss Hughes says that though he will not take unnecessary risks in midweek, he will still put out a strong side.

    Scunthorpe will be without striker Gary Hooper, who is still missing with a foot injury, though defender David Mirfin could return after missing Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Peterborough with illness.

    Boss Nigel Adkins has several members of his small squad carrying knocks, but has refused to divulge any names.

    Watson what kind of lineup are you expecting for this game? It's definitely a tough one for rafa
    to call, I doubt we see torres but I'm expecting a few first teamers

    tne Now tagging people with spaces in their name

    with some players struggling to get games you will probably see a pretty experienced lineup considering its Arsenal in the Carling Cup, Eduardo and Bendtner will probably start, Nasri is just coming back from injury so he will be in the lineup too, Ramsey will definitely start, maybe Merida too, here is the line up im guessing

    Fabianksi
    Gilbert, Silvestre, Sedneros, Gibbs
    Merida, Coquelin, Ramsey
    Bendtner, Eduardo, Nasri

    Very questionable call at the end. Arsenal defender hugged the ball after an Aquliani bicycle kick in the box in the last 3 minutes.
