The PL powers are mostly situated on Wednesday’s side of fixtures, though Wolves, Luton Town, and Burnley face away tests at lower league sides and only Burnley survived (and thrived, pounding Salford City 4-0 away).

Anass Zaroury had three assists as Vincent Kompany’s much-changed Clarets cruised past hosts Salford City at the Peninsula Stadium.

Updates
We’ve got finals, and a match in penalties

Ipswich has held off Wolves to win 3-2 and send a fourth Premier league team out of the tournament.

Luton Town is the fifth after falling 1-0 at Exeter City.

Middlesbrough, Port Vale, and Burnley are through to the next round.

Man United leads Palace 3-0 late.

And Mansfield Town is about to start penalties with Peterborough United following a four-goal split over 90 minutes.

How important is Casemiro? Adds assist in rout

Casemiro’s got an assist to go with his goal and Manchester United is running away from Crystal Palace.

The ball rolls out to the Brazilian eight yards beyond the 18, and he clips a cross toward the back post. Hannibal Mejbri thinks it’s too high for him but it’s just right for Anthony Martial.

3-0, 55'

Ipswich comes all the way back, leads Wolves 3-2

The Tractor Boys are promotion hopefuls for a reason.

Jack Taylor has scored for Ipswich Town in the 58th minute to wash away the Wolves 2-0 lead from the 15th minute.

Freddie Ladapo and Omari Hutchinson had scored in the first half, and now the Championship side could knock Wolves out of the tournament.

Man Utd-Palace at halftime; Six second halves underway

It looks like Manchester United is going to get to the fourth round without much trouble and Burnley should join the Red Devils.

Everything else is up in the air.

Ipswich Town came back from 2-0 down to sit level with visiting Wolves, while Exeter-Luton and Port Vale-Sutton United are scoreless. Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough holds a 1-0 lead over Mark Hughes’ Bradford City.

Peterborough United has just pulled in front of Mansfield Town away to open their second half.

Make it two for the Red Devils versus Crystal Palace

Casemiro’s fourth goal of the season across all competitions is his 11th in just over a year at Manchester United.

He scored two in his last two seasons for Real Madrid, nine over three. He’s loving life in red.

This time it’s a Mason Mount corner kick swung into the box and the Brazilian gets his head on the ball to nod home for 2-0.

All to do for Palace at Old Trafford.

Manchester United take the lead versus Palace

The kids are alright.

Facundo Pellistri takes down a long ball and lays off for ever-active Diogo Dalot.

The Portuguese fullback nears the end line before cutting back into traffic for Alejandro Garnacho, whose shot is off the foot of a Palace man guarding the goal line and into the goal.

1-0 Man Utd after 21 minutes.

Burnley is flying at Salford City; Wolves concede

Burnley has three goals on the board in the first half-hour at Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium.

Sander Berge, Jacob Bruun Larsen, and Dara O’Shea are all on the board for the Clarets, with Moroccan midfielder Anass Zaroury assisting two of those goals.

Wolves threatened to run away from Ipswich Town at Portman Road when Toti Gomes joined Hwang’s early goal, but Chelsea loanee Omari Hutchinson has pulled the Tractor Boys within one.

Middlesbrough leads 1-0 at Bradford City, while Peterborough United has evened things up at Mansfield Town 1-1.

Six games under way, and two goals on the board

Will Swan has put Mansfield Town up 1-0 at home to Peterborough.

And Sasa Kaladjzic has assisted a Hee-chan Hwang goal as Wolves have opened up an early lead at Ipswich Town.

Four other games are 0-0, and Old Trafford sees Manchester United kicking off with Crystal Palace at 3pm ET (and then again Saturday in the same building for Premier League stakes).

Things to watch in Tuesday’s 2:45pm ET kickoffs

Wolves give Sasa Kalajdzic a start atop the attack, and Man City loanee Tommy Doyle will be underneath the center forward as the Premier League side tries win at in-form Championship side Ipswich Town.

Luton Town rings in the changes at Exeter City with a two-match Premier League week kicking off at the weekend. Burnley has similar ideas at Salford City, as their two-match PL week will include a bottom-six scrap with the Hatters.

Fourth-tier Bradford City will bid to surprise the Championship’s Middlesbrough, and League One sides Port Vale and Peterborough United look to dodge upset bids from Sutton United and Mansfield Town, respectively.

Manchester United, Crystal Palace lineups out

This is a strong lineup from Man United, as Sofyan Amrabat gets a start along with healthy Raphael Varane and Mason Mount.

There’s youth, too, and the bench is loaded if Hannibal Mejbri, Facundo Pellistri, and Alejandro Garnacho can’t get the job done.

USMNT defender Chris Richards starts for Palace, as do new boys Rob Holding and Dean Henderson.

Young attacker Jesurun Rak-Sakyi gets another League Cup start after compiling just nine minutes over three Premier League appearances.
