This time around, a three-point haul for Graham Coughlan's side could lift the Pilgrims to the brink of qualification from Group D, having already defeated Middlesbrough and Leeds United in their opening two fixtures.

Coughlan has indicated that he will shuffle his pack as much as competition rules allow - with the likes of goalkeeper Bobby Jones and strikers Lenell John-Lewis and Kieren Donnelly among those chasing valuable minutes.

Donnelly has netted three goals in two National League Cup encounters so far this season.

Sunderland were 3-2 victors at Scunthorpe United in their opening Group D fixture.

The club are only opening the Acorn Taxis (West) Stand for this fixture – with tickets on sale here or contactless payments available on the turnstiles.

The shuttle bus service is not running for this fixture. Car park season pass holders can utilise their normal spaces.
