Preview

Will Evans' early strike wasn't enough to secure all three points for Plymouth on Saturday afternoon as they settled for a 1-1 draw with Wycombe. The Pilgrims have failed to win either of their League One matches this season since knocking rivals Exeter City out in the first round of this competition.

Coventry were served a harsh reminder of the competitive nature of the Premier League when they made their long-awaited return on Friday night. The Sky Blues were well beaten by reigning champions Arsenal in London, but they have the opportunity to bounce back with a competitive fixture victory on Tuesday.
