League Two Grimsby Town bid to cause another Carabao Cup shock. After beating Manchester United in round two, they now travel to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. Here's our match prediction.
After leading United 2-0, they ended up drawing 2-2 and eventually winning on penalties. They have continued to play well since then and are fifth in League Two, only a point behind the automatic promotion places.
The weekend produced a 1-1 draw at home to Cambridge United, equalizing in the 97th minute. Five of their last six games in all competitions have seen both teams get on the scoresheet and their last four Carabao Cup matches.
That includes a match in last season's competition that saw Wednesday win 5-1 at Grimsby. The Owls would love to repeat that kind of win in this game. They are struggling on and off the field at present and are 23rd in the Championship.
Wednesday have earned just one point from their five league games this season. On Saturday, they were beaten 3-0 at home by Bristol City. It's gone better for them in the Carabao Cup and the last round saw them beat Premier League Leeds United on penalties.
We tip both teams to score in this game.
