Tranmere Rovers plays host to Newcastle at Prenton Park in this second round match in the League Cup. The home team cane through a gruelling first round victory against Accrington when they won a marathon penalty shootout 13-12. The visitors will be making their first appearance in the competition this season. Tranmere Rovers lost 2-1 to Newport in their last match in League Two. They are currently in 17th place in the league with just one win in their five league matches this season. Tranmere Rovers have only won two of their last seven matches across all competition with four losses and a draw. Their form at home has also been very poor as they have lost three of their last four matches. The home side have lost their last four matches against Newcastle although the last meeting was in 2000.

Newcastle will be in buoyant mood after their excellent 3-3 against Premiership champions Manchester City over the weekend. They were actually unlucky not to walk away with all three points as they once led the match 3-1 before the champions stormed back to force a draw. Newcastle have made a great start to their season and are one of only eight teams that are unbeaten in the league. It may be early in the season but they look transformed compared to early last season. They are unbeaten in their last five matches with three wins and two draws. Newcastle have not been that great away from home as they have only won one of their last five matches.
