Kelly Cates brings reaction from a busy night of EFL Cup action, which was dominated by COVD-19. West Ham's David Moyes, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen tested positive for the virus as they arrived to play Hull City at the London Stadium. The game went ahead and West Ham won comfortably - we hear from assistant manager Alan Irvine who took charge of the team and get analysis from Andy Reid and John Southall who watched the match.

Leyton Orient's tie with Tottenham was called off following a number of O's players testing positive for coronavirus after Saturday's draw with Mansfield. Their chairman Nigel Travis tells the podcast that if his club are punished as a result, it would be "an incentive not to test and that is bad for football and bad for health and safety."

And we get the thoughts of Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after his side left it late to turn on the style in their win at Luton Town.

Joining Kelly Cates on this podcast are Conor McNamara and Clinton Morrison who watched the action at Kenilworth Road. Plus Michael Brown makes it back from his cancelled tie to join the discussion.
