Bolton Wanderers make the short trip to Wigan Athletic this evening for a derby Carabao Cup clash.
Wanderers are poised to be backed by some 4,700 passionate fans in the away section of the DW Stadium for the local derby match.
Both sides booked their place in this evening's second round encounter by beating Championship opposition on penalties.

Wanderers overcame Barnsley, while the Latics beat Hull City.
Ian Evatt has strength in depth in his squad and should changes be made for this evening's encounter, the quality will not be diluted, but admits he faces some difficult choices when it comes to team selection.
He said: “It is something we have worked hard to get, and to build. We have strength in depth.
“We have had a tough fixture list, condensed, and it has been physically demanding, especially given what we went through in pre-season. But I trust every single one of my squad, they wouldn’t be in it if I didn’t.
“With Kieran (Lee) and Baps (Alex Baptiste) not playing on Saturday, two vastly experienced players, when you have them to come off the bench to get three points over the line and then potentially play in a midweek cup match then you know you are not losing much, if anything at all.
“It hasn’t been easy because either way I probably can’t win.
“That is the life of a manager and I’ll take it on the chin, either way.
“Whatever team I pick, I believe in it, I believe in the individuals."
Joel Dixon could start once again as goalkeeper, while there could be changes made to the back four.
As Evatt says, Baptiste did not start Saturday's encounter and could slot into central defence, while the likes of former Wigan defender George Johnston and Liam Gordon are options at left-back in place of Declan John.
In central midfield, Kieran Lee could come into the fray in place of Josh Sheehan to start alongside MJ Williams and captain Antoni Sarcevic.
For the front three, Nathan Delfouneso has only made one appearance so far this season in the previous round against the Tykes and could slot in on the left hand side, with Eoin Doyle leading the line and Lloyd Isgrove on the right.
Bolton Wanderers predicted starting team against Wigan Athletic: Dixon; Jones, Santos, Baptiste, Johnston; Williams, Lee, Sarcevic; Isgrove, Doyle, Delfouneso.
