This Tuesday begins at the knockout stages of the English League Cup, and thus at the Pirelli Stadium in Burton upon Trent one of the revelation teams of the English Premier League such as Leicester City, prepares to visit a cast of the English League One as is Burton Albion.
Burton Albion :
Those led by Nigel Clough have not started very well the 2019/20 season in the English League One (third division of England’s football) and this was demonstrated last weekend when they could not enforce the locality and had to conform with a warm tie to zero goals against Blackpool and thus the Brewers is ranked 13th with nineteen points, seven points more than the last team would be losing the category, and six points below the sixth place leading to the round of playoff of the ascent and that right now occupies the cast of Conventry City.
But despite this irregularity, we have to say that Burton Albion has been making a decent presentation when he has to play at home, to the point that he has only lost a game of the last seven officials contested before his fans and that defeat that occurred in the EFL Trophy against Everton U21, and here he plans to maintain that regularity in an English League Cup where he already knows what it is to defeat an English Premier League team, remembering that in the previous round they beat AFC Bournemouth 2-0, and eye that in that game the Cherries put on the field a very interesting team.
Leicester City:
On the other hand, those directed by Brendan Rodgers come to have their maximum football expression when last weekend they not only added three points in their visit to Southampton, but they did it with a blunt 0-9, with great performance by Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Pérez each marking a triplet.
With this results, the Fox added their second consecutive victory, and even being broader we can say that they achieved their fifth victory in their last six official games.
These results have led Leicester City to place in an expectant third place in the English Premier League with twenty points in ten games and although the difference with the Liverpool leader is eight points, the important thing for the Fox is that they are involved in UEFA competition classification zone, which is what they have drawn up at the beginning of the season.
Now is the time to take that good performance to the English League Cup where they aspire to match or exceed what was done in the previous edition when they reached the quarterfinals being eliminated by Manchester City on the penalty track, and although in their first The game of the current edition suffered to leave Newcastle United on the road who was eliminated from the penalty spot, in the previous round they demonstrated why they are part of a group of the most competitive league in world football such as the Premier League and thus defeated with a clear 0-4 to a lower division team such as Luton Town and this Tuesday they want to repeat the story against a Burton Albion who was defeated 2-0 in his last official game in 2013.
