Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez scored twice as the holder moved into the League Cup fourth round with a 6-1 home win over League One side (third tier) Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday. Liverpool also progressed without trouble by winning 3-0 at Norwich City in its all-Premier League tie with Japanese forward Takumi Minamino on target twice and Divock Origi also scoring.
But with most top flight teams making several changes from the first-choice line-ups, there were Premier League casualties with Everton and Watford knocked out by lower league opponents.
Brandon Hanlan gave Wycombe a shock lead at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium in the 22nd minute but the host took a 3-1 lead by halftime with goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Mahrez and Phil Foden before running away with the game in the second half.
