Derby County return to Pride Park Stadium on Tuesday evening when they take on fellow Sky Bet League One side Fleetwood Town in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy Round of 32 (7pm kick-off).
It will mark the second time this season that the Rams have taken on the Cod Army at Pride Park, with Paul Warne's men edging the league fixture 1-0 back in August thanks to a first half goal from striker Martyn Waghorn.
In the lead-up to the knockout round of the competition getting underway, dcfc.co.uk has brought together all the key information you need to know...
Team News
Midfielder Louie Sibley will miss the game due to suspension after picking up two bookings in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy so far this season.
Midfielder Korey Smith (knee) was injured in the recent 2-1 home win over Bristol Rovers and missed the 1-0 success at Port Vale last week. He is continuing his work with the medical team and is set to miss out once again.
Striker Conor Washington (ankle) will be out of action for around three months with the ankle injury he picked up while on international duty with Northern Ireland last month.
Defender Callum Elder (ankle) is back on the grass after a month out of action but remains missing for Tuesday evening's match.
Midfielder Liam Thompson (quad) is closing in on a return to training after a lengthy spell on the sidelines and will miss out once again.
Defender Jake Rooney (knee) has undergone surgery on his damaged ACL and is set to be out of action for a lengthy period of time.
On loan Sunderland midfielder Elliot Embleton has returned to his parent club after injuring his quad in training last month and, after undergoing surgery, is to be out of action for several months.
Pre-Match Thoughts
Assistant Head Coach Richie Barker spoke to RamsTV to preview the Round of 32 meeting with the Cod Army.
He said: "We want to do well in the Trophy. We want to keep the momentum going and have a run in it, but obviously we are aware that we have a game coming up on Saturday as well at Leyton Orient. It goes straight to penalties too which is a massive lottery, so ideally we want the job done in 90 minutes."
Defender Craig Forsyth also sat down with RamsTV to discuss the return to action at Pride Park Stadium in midweek.
He said: "We're in the knockout stages now, we're through the group stages and towards the latter end of it. We want to stay in it and win it and the day out at Wembley Stadium would be a great place to do it."
Match Officials
Scott Jackson will take charge of Tuesday evening's game at Pride Park Stadium with Jack Forder and Marc Wilson his assistants for the tie. Ruebyn Ricardo is the man on Fourth Official duties for the contest.
Jackson has refereed 15 games so far this season with the majority of those coming in Sky Bet League Two. He's handed out 64 yellow cards, one straight red and awarded five penalties to date.
Bristol Street Motors Trophy Format
In the knockout stages of the competition, if the scores are level at the end of 90 minutes the game will go straight to penalties with no extra time on the night.
