Fleetwood Town Preview – Can Brown’s Cod Army upset the Premier League outfit?
Scott Brown’s Fleetwood Town will be gunning for promotion to the EFL Championship this season. The Cod Army have had an indifferent start, winning one, losing one and drawing three of their opening five League One fixtures.
The Lancashire side beat Championship side Wigan Athletic in the first round of the EFL Cup earlier in the month. It was a tight fixture, but Gerard Garner’s goal midway through the first period won it for Town.
Fleetwood are unbeaten since the opening weekend of the 2022-23 League Two season, bouncing back from the loss at Port Vale with two wins and three draws from five league and cup matches. Can the Lancashire club cause an upset in the second round of the EFL Cup on home soil in midweek?
Everton Preview – Will the Toffees avoid a giant-killing?
Everton avoided relegation to the Championship by the skin of their teeth last term, and Frank Lampard’s Toffees could be in for another season of struggle. After three Premier League games, the Merseyside club have taken just one point from a possible nine.
Everton were narrowly beaten by Chelsea on matchday one before suffering a disappointing defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park. They did manage to pick up their first point last Saturday, though, drawing 1-1 at home with newly promoted Nottingham Forest.

Fleetwood have been tough to beat under Brown, who had a superb winning mentality while captain of Celtic for several years.
Everton will have to be at their best at Fleetwood to progress to round three. It could be close, but we fancy the Toffees to nick the tie.
Take a punt on the away team to win by one goal at 11/4. We also like the look of 9/4 for the Everton win and both teams to score.
