National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Fleetwood Town or Leicester U21 that keep their silverware dream alive.

Fleetwood have less rest than Leicester U21 in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League One game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Plymouth Argyle, so at least Fleetwood are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Last season, Fleetwood's EFL Trophy journey ended in the 3rd round.

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Fleetwood Town's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Highbury Stadium.

Fleetwood manager S. Grayson and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Plymouth Argyle in the League One. Danny Andrew was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.6 out of 10. The defender Andrew served one assist, hit four key passes and won 2 of 2 duels.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Cheltenham Town.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Wigan Athletic in only four days. This game is also played here at Highbury Stadium.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Fleetwood Town at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Leicester U21 form and stats

Leicester was sent out of EFL Trophy in the 3rd round last season.

There's been little loot from Leicester U21's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Premier League U21. Leicester U21 only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws. Leicester has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Leicester are travelling again after losing away to Tranmere Rovers in their previous match (2-4). A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Leicester, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Leicester have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Leicester concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
