The first major domestic competition of the season is nearing its conclusion, with the Carabao Cup semi-finals being settled this week.
The four remaining teams - Newcastle, Manchester United, Southampton and Nottingham Forest - are still dreaming of Wembley, albeit some more strongly than others following the first legs.
Here is how you can follow the action and see who continues on the road to Wembley.
Recent signing Anthony Gordon will have to wait for his Newcastle debut as he is cup-tied having played for Everton in earlier rounds.
Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is expected to seal a deadline day move to Nottingham Forest too, so he won’t be available either and Matt Target is a doubt with a foot injury.
Duje Caleta-Car will be available for Southampton despite his red card in the first leg. He served the suspension in the FA Cup against Blackpool.
Moussa Djenepo will miss out through concussion protocol, though. Armel Bella-Kotchap, Juan Larios and Theo Walcott are likely to be missing too.
Tino Livramento and Stuart Armstrong are definitely out.
Manchester United have concerns over Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw, and they may rotate their squad with such a commanding first leg lead.
That could see a recall for Jadon Sancho, who has returned to training following some personal problems.
Christian Eriksen Anthony Martial, Diogo Dalot and Axel Tuanzebe will all miss out through injury.
Nottingham Forest are battling a few injury problems right now themselves. Moussa Niakhate, Omar Richards, Taiwo Awoniyi, Cheikhou Kouyate and Dean Henderson are all definitely out, while Giulian Biancone is out for the season.
Perhaps even more worrying for Steve Cooper is that Morgan Gibbs-White will likely miss out with an ankle problem.
