Our Carabao Cup campaign continues at Deepdale Stadium on Wednesday (7.45pm UK) when we face Preston North End in the round of 16.
We reached the fourth round courtesy of a 5-1 win at home to Bolton Wanderers in September, Ethan Nwaneri netting a brace among goals from Declan Rice, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz.
Preston entered the tournament in the first round and put two past Sunderland without reply before beating Harrogate Town 5-0 and knocking out Fulham on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
making themselves hard to beat
With just three wins from 12 league games, it hasn't been an ideal start to life in the Championship for Preston this season, but they haven't lost since a 3-1 defeat to Millwall at the end of September.
