Highbury Stadium will host an eagerly-awaited EFL Cup clash between Fleetwood and Sheffield United. The Cods are undefeated in the new League Two campaign and produced an impressive 4-0 victory over Shrewsbury in the previous round. Fleetwood have won 40% of their last 10 matches, scoring 1.50 goals per game while conceding just 0.70. Their home defensive record is particularly strong, with the Cod Army keeping clean sheets in 67% of their last six home games. Kane Thompson-Sommers and Andy Cannon remain in the recovery room.
The Blades, meanwhile, will be keen to make amends for a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton. Sheffield United have been excellent on the road, going unbeaten in their previous seven away games in all competitions. They have won 50% of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.83 goals per away game and conceding only 0.83. Matt Doherty and Rhys Norrington-Davies are pushing for a start. With a clear difference in squad quality, Sheffield United should have enough to progress.
Considering Sheffield United's splendid away from, our main prediction leans toward Away Win, alongside Sheffield Utd to Qualify and Over 1.5 goals (all six previous H2H meetings produced at least two goals).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 19:45.
