Peterborough United vs Swindon Town: Can Posh register a rare EFL Cup win?
Posh will be looking to make progress in the EFL Cup, a competition that Posh have not fared well in recent years.
Posh have only won one EFL Cup tie since 2016- that came 2-0 away at Plymouth Argyle last season. Posh were then knocked out 1-0 the following round by League Two Stevenage.
Swindon will get their season underway on Tuesday night after their season opener at Colchester was rained off on Saturday.

Midweek football is back as Posh get their EFL Cup campaign underway against League Two Swindon.
Posh are expected to make several changes to give opportunities to fringe and young players but are likely to be without captain Ephron Mason-Clark as Posh will not take any risks with the hamstring issue.
