LONDON -- If Arsenal are going to hang around in the EFL Cup, this is the way to do it. No key men were risked, squad players got much-needed reps and Hale End's finest made the right impression. That all this came with a berth in the quarterfinals of this competition makes it that fraction better.

On the other side, Aston Villa has responded after a slow start to the season. The Lions went winless in their first five matches of the season, but have since responded by coming out on top in their last five, including a 1-0 victory at home against Manchester City last week. Time: 4 p.m. ET Where: Anfield (Liverpool, U.K.)
