Record eight-times winners Liverpool eased past Derby County 3-0, while Arsenal enjoyed a 4-0 stroll at Nottingham Forest. It was a bad night, however, for Premier League sides Everton and Bournemouth, who exited the competition at the hands of second-tier opponents. Everton were dumped out 2-0 at home by Norwich City, while Bournemouth suffered a 3-2 home defeat by Preston North End. Liverpool, beaten on penalties by Manchester City in last season's final, booked their spot in the next round with goals from Ragnar Klavan, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi and it was an equally straightforward romp for Arsenal. On Wednesday in-form holders Manchester City and their new manager Pep Guradiola visit Swansea City, while Jose Mourinho's struggling Manchester United outfit travel to third-tier Northampton Town and Tottenham Hotspur host Gillingham.
