Keeping you up to date on soccer, darts, boxing and racing.

SOCCER

Chelsea finished strongly to beat Cardiff City by three goals to one in the English League Cup quarter-finals last nigh

Tonight, Brentford make the trip to Manchester City, while holders Newcastle play Fulham.

Defending champions Celtic visit Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership this evening, chasing a first win under new manager Wilfried Nancy.

The Frenchman's already under pressure having lost all three of his games at the helm so far - including Sunday's League Cup final against St Mirren.

Victory tonight would take the Parkhead side three points off leaders Hearts.
