Everton is set for a trip to Highbury Stadium for a face off against Fleetwood Town this week in the second round of the EFL Cup. Match day schedules for August 23 at 21:45 EAT.
Fleetwood Town is currently in 14th place in League, after almost losing their League One status last season, with Gillingham relegated via goal difference at their expense, we believe Fleetwood are up for a more stable season under their new manager Scott Brown. Coming into this game the hosts have only lost one of their last six matches across all competitions (LWWDDD).
Fleetwood Town held each other to 0-0 League One stalemate with Derby County in their most recent encounter. In that match, Fleetwood had 37% possession and seven shots with two of them on target while Derby County got 27 shots with eight of them on target.
On the other side, Everton having failed to win a trophy since 1995, their fans will likely be hoping for their manager to pick a strong team at Fleetwood on Tuesday. The visitors have only won two of their last eight matches across all competitions. Everton has a poor away record that shows four losses in their last five matches on the road.
Everton also shared spoils 1-1 Premier with Nottingham Forest in their previous fixture. In that match, Everton had 49% possession, 19 shots with eight of them on target and a goal scored by Demarai Gray (88′). Nottingham Forest got 14 shots with five of them on target and a goal by Brennan Johnson (81′).
