Derek McInnes has urged his Kilmarnock team to build on the cup credentials he believes they have "already shown this season". "We have got to be a good cup team," the manager said as he looked forward to Tuesday's quarter-final at home to Heart of Midlothian. "I want us to be that team, but we are going to have to put in a performance because, while Hearts haven't scored too many goals this season, they have certainly not conceded a lot either."
Jermaine Jenas has apologised and admitted he “got it wrong” after attacking officials on social media during the 2-2 draw between Arsenal and his former club Tottenham.
Chelsea are in desperate need of a win as they welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup third round. Mauricio Pochettino has overseen just one win in six Premier League games and his Blues side scrapped past AFC Wimbledon in the previous round. Brighton, meanwhile, are flying high and will be confident of recording a third consecutive win over a Chelsea side who have hired (and then fired) their manager and signed arguably their best player in the last year.
