Yesterday's results & headlines

Tuesday's Carabao Cup second-round action delivered plenty of goals in the Championship derbies. Ipswich Town beat Leicester City 3-1 at Portman Road, with Marcelino Núñez the star turn — the Chilean midfielder struck twice, including a stunning effort from inside his own half in stoppage time, either side of a header from Olabade Aluko. Sindre Walle Egeli had put the Tractor Boys ahead after 62 minutes, and the result sends Ipswich through to round three.

Elsewhere, West Ham United came from behind to thrash Championship rivals Southampton 4-1 at St Mary's. Teenager Josh Ajala scored twice on his full professional debut, with Valentín Castellanos and Jarrod Bowen adding further goals after the sides had been level at half-time. The EFL confirmed round three draw details on Tuesday, with the ties to be played in the fortnight after this round concludes on Thursday.

Racing round-up

National Hunt action at Stratford produced a strong card for the Skelton and Boultbee-Brooks yards. Guts And Glory (4/1), trained by Clive Boultbee-Brooks and ridden by Stan Sheppard, pressed the pace before going clear on the run-in to land the mares' maiden hurdle. Delgany Second Now (15/2) gave Dan Skelton and son Harry a novices' hurdle success, while odds-on favourite Youdecide justified market confidence for trainer Ben Pauling and jockey Ben Jones in the concluding handicap chase, and Fergal O'Brien's Goliath Power (9/4f) rounded off the card with a bumper win under his daughter Fern O'Brien.

In the Premier League, the fallout continued from the opening weekend's biggest shock — Michael Carrick's Manchester United slipping to a 2-0 defeat at newly-promoted Hull City, a result the United boss called "bitterly disappointing". Newcastle's new head coach Matthias Jaissle, meanwhile, is still searching for his first win after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool on the opening weekend.

Today's fixtures & previews

Football — Carabao Cup round two, night two

Four second-round ties complete this year's opening cup round tonight. The headline tie sees Tottenham Hotspur host League One high-flyers Charlton Athletic at 19:45, with Spurs still smarting from Saturday's 3-0 loss at Brentford and missing a raft of first-teamers. At St James' Park, Newcastle United welcome West Bromwich Albion (19:45), while Bradford City host Burnley at the same time. Deepdale stages the night's late kick-off as Preston North End, still winless this season, take on Everton (20:00), who opened their campaign with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Horse racing — Newbury and Wolverhampton

Flat racing takes centre stage at Newbury, which stages a seven-race card between 16:10 and 19:30 on good to firm ground. The opener is the Pump Technology Nursery at 16:10, followed by the two divisions of the Bricklayers Arms Newbury EBF Maiden Stakes at 16:45 and 17:20, before the card moves on to the IRE Incentive Maiden Fillies' Stakes at 17:55.

Cricket and tennis watch

England's cricketers are in final preparations for the second Test against Pakistan, which starts at Lord's on Thursday — a game that could settle the series after the opener. Across the Atlantic, the US Open main draw is bedding in ahead of Sunday's start, with British interest already thinned after Emma Raducanu's withdrawal through injury; Katie Boulter remains through to the women's singles main draw.

Player news & injury updates

Manchester United's injury list grows

Michael Carrick's post-Hull City rebuild is complicated by fresh fitness concerns: Manuel Ugarte is out long-term with a knee problem, Matthijs de Ligt has returned to training but is not yet ready for a first-team recall, and Mason Mount remains a doubt after picking up a knock. Carrick will be desperate for better news before Sunday's fixture.

Doku a concern for City

Manchester City's Jérémy Doku was the club's only fresh absentee this week after being substituted at half-time complaining of calf pain, with Pep Guardiola's side otherwise boosted by Nunes returning to full training.

Tottenham's growing casualty list

Spurs go into tonight's Charlton tie without Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Pedro Porro, Pape Matar Sarr, Xavi Simons and Micky van de Ven, leaving Thomas Frank's side light on options after the Brentford defeat.

Transfer state of play

With the summer window closing on 1 September, movement is picking up: Rafael Leão is being strongly linked with a Premier League switch, while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring a Liverpool forward, Cody Gakpo, as a potential late addition.

Raducanu out of the US Open

British number one Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the US Open with an ongoing leg injury, leaving Katie Boulter as the leading home hope in the women's singles when the main draw begins on Sunday.
