Sheffield United's Romelle Donovan cuts in from the right and flashes a shot just wide of the far post.

Jack Grealish obviously thought that Jackson Tchatchoua yellow card looked fun and gets one himself for blocking Tawanda Chirewa's run off the ball.

Wolves defender Jackson Tchatchoua takes out Jack Grealish and gets a yellow card.

Wolves the better team so far and some good pressing almost sees Tommy Doyle through on goal but Everton deal with it.

Chance for Fleetwood, two in fact. Mark Helm's effort from outside the box is palmed away by Michael Cooper and Ched Evans heads the rebound wide.

Wolves have a free-kick which Raul Jimenez curls over the bar.

No action here so far really - some nice passing it around from Wolves.

Offside flag goes up against Blades striker Tom Cannon but his shot is saved anyway.

Portuguese goalkeeper Joao Virginia is making his Wolves debut tonight.

The 26-year-old was actually an Everton player from 2018 until 2025 and played eight games before spending a year at Sporting.

Sheffield United have a chance within 60 seconds but Ollie Arblaster's shot is blocked.

We are under way in the first two games in the North West of England.

I echo everything Jobi says but I know JJ Gabriel's dad because my friend used to represent him when he was a youngster and he used to come and train with us and the dad is an alright guy. But what Jobi said was spot on. I was here at Old Trafford a year ago having a good conversation with his dad and he was telling us how well he's doing, how all the clubs wanted him, how he's moved up to Manchester. And I asked if he goes to school and he said he gets homeschooled, he's just into his football but his dad has put a lot of effort and time into him.

The kid had to make it, to be fair, the one-on-one coaching. I know a lot of parents do it these days but he's has put in a lot of effort.

I'm so surprised because a year ago he was happy here. He's 15 years of age and I don't know what's gone on. I don't know if they're not happy with the opportunities, but they have to realise he's 15 and he's at a massive club like Man United.

I was at Bolton's game with West Ham last Tuesday.

I spoke to some West Ham fans, who while they didn't celebrate getting relegated, took comfort in the knowledge there was no VAR involvement.

There is none at this stage of the EFL Cup either - or extra-time for that matter.

I'll leave it for others to decide whether it is a good thing that when the ball goes in, we will know instantly if it is a goal or not.

Or, as happened here on Sunday, if the offside flag is raised when the ball does go in, if don't have to wait for someone in a booth not to spot there is a player about a yard offside, clearly in their line of sight, who they fail to spot.

For people who aren't as close to the story or the family, it will come as a huge shock in terms of the position the kid's in. And when I use the word kid, we're talking about a 15-year-old here and it's incredible to think that people around him are making decisions that could be detrimental.

He's from an area where I'm close to a lot of people. I don't know his dad personally, but I know people around him and everyone's known about JJ for a long, long time. There's been a lot of hype, a lot of social media interest. In terms of his pathway, this has been very carefully orchestrated by his dad for him to be a professional footballer. Everything has been geared up to him getting to this point.

And it just feels strange on the eve of being involved tonight the decision, whoever's taken it, to make him not available, I find really head-scratching and wrong because that moment to play for a club as big as Manchester United, to be the youngest-ever player, would've been monumental for him but that's gone away.

Manchester United lost at the first hurdle in both domestic cup competitions last season.

The humiliation in the second round of last season's EFL Cup to League Two Grimsby won't be forgotten in a hurry, while United also lost here to tonight's opponents Brighton in the FA Cup third round.

It contributed to a 40-game season, which United do not want to repeat.

"We want to play as many games as possible," says Michael Carrick in his programme notes.

After drawing at Everton and losing to Manchester City, United could do with avoiding a loss tonight.
