Premier League round-up: Liverpool maintain top spot

Holders Manchester City remained in the hunt for the quadruple after beating Leicester on penalties in the Carabao Cup.

Oleksandr Zincheko scored to win the shoot-out 3-1 after the match finished 1-1, sending City into the last four.

Arijanet Muric saved from James Maddison and Caglar Soyuncu, while Christian Fuchs also missed for Leicester.

It spared Raheem Sterling's blushes after the forward chipped his spot-kick over the bar. Re-live all the action below:

Both Leicester and Man City make sweeping changes to their starting XI's but it should still make for an interesting match.

The big news today though is the sacking of Jose Mourinho from Manchester United and who could possibly replace him, take a look at the details here...

Two names have jumped to the top of the list as replacements for Jose Mourinho and these are Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino and ex-Manchester United star/current manager of Molde, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

A story from the other side of Manchester now as Kevin De Bruyne makes his return to Man City's side after a knee injury. How will he get on tonight?

Also back is this man, how big of an impact will he have as Manchester City once again go hunting for the quadruple?

15 minutes to go until the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup begin, Middlesbrough welcome Burton Albion in a match that means a non Premier League will definitely reach the semi-finals, but who's it going to be? 

Stay with us to find out...

Middlesbrough won their only previous League Cup meeting with Burton, coming from behind to win 2-1 in extra time in August 2015 thanks to two Cristhian Stuani goals.

This is the furthest Burton Albion have got in the League Cup - they're looking to become the first team from the third tier or lower to reach the semi-finals of the competition since Sheffield United in 2014-15.
