The Carabao Cup second round is upon us, and it's the stage where the Premier League teams enter the competition.

The teams that are playing in Europe this year, such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, don't enter the Carabao Cup yet, but the other top-flight clubs do, and you can catch a lot of them in action across the talkSPORT network.

And we have some big games across the two days, with the second round taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Carabao Cup second-round games: marvelbet369.commentary

Our main match on Tuesday night comes from Goodison Park as Everton welcome League Two side Doncaster Rovers to Goodison Park.

It's been an awful start to the season for Everton, who have been thrashed by Brighton and Tottenham.

Toffees players were even abused by a few supporters on their way home on Saturday after being beaten by Spurs, so Sean Dyche needs a win, but Doncaster have had a good start to season and sit sixth in League Two.

talkSPORT will have live commentary of this one from Merseyside, with Adrian Durham serving as your presenter.

Commentary will come from Sam Matterface and former Leeds Women's striker Lucy Ward.

On talkSPORT 2, Jim Proudfoot and former Chelsea man Scott Minto will bring you coverage of Crystal Palace vs Norwich.

Again, it's been a poor start to the year for the Eagles, losing to Brentford and West Ham when big things were expected after such a strong end to last year under Oliver Glasner.

So, they'll also need a boost in the cup against a Norwich side that are yet to win a league game.

Everton have been awful so far

On Wednesday, we have two all-Premier League clashes as West Ham welcome Bournemouth and Newcastle travel to Nottingham Forest.

Our main game will be the Hammers' match against the Cherries, with both clubs seeking cup progress.

It's been a decent start to the campaign for both sides, with West Ham beating Palace at the weekend, while Bournemouth are unbeaten after two draws.

Once again, Durham will host, with commentary from Proudfoot and former West Ham man Dean Ashton.

And on talkSPORT 2, we'll have Forest v Newcastle, with Matterface and former Arsenal midfielder Adrian Clarke.

Both sides have four points on the board in the Premier League after 1-0 wins and 1-1 draws, and they'll be looking to go far in the cup.

Forest will feel confident of getting the win in front of their fans, while Newcastle welcome Sandro Tonali back from his ten-month football ban and will hope he can make an instant impact.

As well as these live commentaries, we'll have updates from around all of the other grounds.
