The new season kicks off in unusual fashion this year with the Football League’s opening games being in the newly named Capital One Cup, last year’s Carling Cup.
Two Championship clubs made the semi-finals of the competition last season, with Liverpool edging out Cardiff City in a penalty shoot-out at Wembley to decide the destination of the trophy.
This time around the competition kicks off before the league campaign and so it is the fans’ first glimpse of competitive football after the long summer months.
Fleetwood Town hosting Nottingham Forest seems the tie of the round along with a touchline battle between Paolo Di Canio and Gus Poyet as Swindon Town entertain fancied Brighton also one to watch.
