Preview

After edging past Northampton in the first round of the Carabao Cup, Leicester endured a quiet return to the third tier as Conor Grant's late strike restricted the Foxes to a point on the road against newly promoted Notts County. Russell Martin will be desperate to register three points here in gameweek two.

Burton Albion were heading for an impressive home win against last year's play-off semi-finalists Stevenage in gameweek one before Oliver Sanderson equalised in stoppage time. The Brewers, who still have squad depth issues to address, now face the League One giants on the road.
