Prediction: 3-0
Northampton
Following a 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in their Championship opener, Swansea City will look to return to winning ways when they take on Northampton Town in the League Cup round 1. The Swans will be without goalkeeper Steven Benda and midfielder Liam Walsh in Tuesday’s clash, while both Liam Cullen and Azeem Abdulai are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench against the Blues.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Stevenage, but they face a tough challenge in the Swansea.com Stadium showdown. Northampton are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in the EFL Cup round 1. In their last encounter in the competition Swansea defeated Northampton 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
