Today, I will again turn to the EFL Cup and this draw...

Today we have an all-League 1 clash as Burton host Oxford United in the EFL Cup. Bothe teams played their first games on Saturday. Burton got a solid 0-1 away win at Shrewsbury while Oxford held on away at their great rivals, Cambridge to get a draw.

Oxford finished top 6 last season and a close season has seen them re-sign loanees from last year and make a few new permanent signings. A definitive signal of their intent to go one better this season in their hunt for promotion.

It was on the last day of the season, they pinched that last play-oof spot from Pompeii due to giving...yes, you guessed it, Burton a thrashing by 40 nil. Although at home, is the is a pointer to the result tonight?

Jimmy Floyd has also been busy with the signings during the close season but the loss of new signing Moult, from Preston for 5 months due to an injury is a big loss.

Prediction: Burton 1 : 1 Oxford - First Goal scorer: Amadi-Holloway
