The hosts beat Middlesbrough 5-0 in the previous round of the competition on August 27, while the visitors secure a 2-1 victory in the second round against Rotherham United on the same date.

Stoke City’s EFL Cup campaign has been a welcome distraction from what has been a frustrating start to their 2024-25 league campaign given that they have lost three of their five games in the Championship.

Steven Schumacher’s side are currently 13th with six points after five matchweeks, and in their last match they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Oxford United on September 14.

The Potters have won four of their last six matches in this competition, although they were eliminated from last season’s edition of the tournament in the third round when they lost 2-0 to AFC Bournemouth in September 2023.

Schumacher’s side have lost three of their last five competitive matches and have won one and lost one of their two home games this season.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood had to come from behind to beat League One outfit Rotherham in the second round of the EFL Cup after they conceded just two minutes in, but goals from Ryan Graydon in the 16th and 27th minutes ensured they progressed from the tie.

Fleetwood are currently 12th in League Two with eight points after five matchweeks, although they have played a game less than 10 of the 11 teams above them in the table and would rise to seventh if they were to win their game in hand.

In their most recent game, the Fishermen claimed a 3-2 victory over Carlisle United but surrendered a 2-0 lead before Daniel Mayor scored the winner in the 67th minute.

Tuesday’s contest against Stoke will be the second time this season that Fleetwood have played a Championship side in the EFL Cup, and it will also be a return to the bet365 Stadium for manager Charlie Adam, who spent seven seasons at the Potters as a player.

Fleetwood come into the contest having won just one of their three away matches this season and having lost two of their last three games, although prior to this they were unbeaten in their previous five competitive games.

Regardless, Adam will take confidence from his side’s 2-1 victory in the first round of the EFL Cup on August 13 against Championship side West Bromwich Albion.

Fleetwood Town Team News

Zech Medley is set to miss most of the season for Fleetwood Town after he suffered an Achilles injury against Gillingham on August 24.

Adam could select a similar XI to the one that beat Rotherham, so the likes of Elliot Bonds, Matthew Virtue-Thick and Danny Mayor are expected to feature in midfield.
