What’s that famous saying? Death, taxes and sweeping changes in the early rounds of the EFL Cup. As the remainder of the Premier League teams entered the Carabao Cup last night, supporters (at least those who turned up) will not have been surprised to see a different set of players to those they watched at the weekend. Wholesale changes (9+)Almost half of the teams in action last night made nine changes or more to the side they played in their previous fixture. Aston Villa were the only team to make 11 changes to their side while West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Middlesbrough made ten each with varying degrees of success.
