The EFL Cup 2023 match between Exeter City and Luton Town will take place at St. James Park on Wednesday at 12:15 am IST.
Luton Town, having recently earned their inaugural point in the Premier League, are aiming to advance to the fourth round of the EFL Cup as they visit League One side Exeter City this Tuesday. Luton managed to secure a place in this round by narrowly defeating Gillingham 3-2 in the second round, while Exeter City has already progressed by overcoming Crawley Town and Stevenage in the 2023-24 competition.
Exeter City began the season impressively, with just one loss in their first eight matches across various competitions, including a four-game winning streak in late August and early September. They reached the EFL Cup third round for the first time in 34 years, notably winning a penalty shootout against Stevenage in round two. However, their fortunes took a drastic turn under manager Gary Caldwell. They suffered a record-breaking 9-0 defeat to Reading in the EFL Trophy and followed it with a comprehensive 3-0 loss to Oxford United in a recent League One match. Despite their strong start, they’ve now lost three of their last four matches. Nevertheless, their appearance in the EFL Cup third round remains a significant achievement, although it comes on the heels of the devastating loss to Reading, and they face Premier League opponents Luton Town next.
Luton Town faced a tough match against Wolverhampton Wanderers but gained a significant advantage when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was sent off. Despite this, they fell behind 1-0 due to Pedro Neto’s goal. Luton controversially equalized through a Joao Gomes handball penalty converted by Carlton Morris, marking their first Premier League goal. They pushed for a winner but had a late goal disallowed in a 1-1 draw against 10-man Wolves. Before this draw, Luton’s notable result was a narrow 3-2 EFL Cup second-round win over Gillingham. They hadn’t kept a clean sheet this season but are now favored to reach the EFL Cup fourth round for the first time since 2007-08. Luton hasn’t faced Exeter competitively since leaving League Two, where they had a seven-game unbeaten run against them. Exeter’s last win over Luton was in 2015.
Exeter City probable starting lineup: Sinisalo, Sweeney, Aimson, Fitzwater, Kite, Carroll, Cole, Harper, Watts, Scott, Wildschut
Luton Town probable starting lineup: Krul, Kabore, Mengi, Lockyer, Andersen, Giles, Mpanzu, Berry, Chong, Woodrow, Adebayo
