Manager Comments:
Neil Harris - “I would love to do well in the Carabao Cup and we will try and win the game but my thinking is trying to manage the players that we can manage, changes to the team definitely, some players that haven’t featured will get an opportunity.
“We will have to pick an approach that we go to Wimbledon with and a shape and a formation and personnel we will have to see who is available.”
Johnnie Jackson - "We’re still a work in progress – we will improve, but we’re showing a lot of resilience defensively. It’s two clean sheets back to back, and we’re hard to beat."
Previous Meetings:
