Preston North End host Everton at Deepdale in the Carabao Cup, with Paul Heckingbottom's Championship side facing a Premier League opponent in what shapes up as a difficult assignment for the home team.
Preston arrive at this fixture in poor form. They have won just once in their last five matches across all competitions, suffering back-to-back Championship defeats to Bolton Wanderers and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and their early-season performances have raised questions about their capacity to compete against top-flight opposition.
Everton, meanwhile, travel to Lancashire off the back of a strong start to their Premier League campaign. David Moyes's side beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in their league opener at Hill Dickinson Stadium, and the Toffees will be looking to carry that confidence into this cup tie.
Moyes has been characteristically direct about his priorities. The Everton manager made clear in his pre-match press conference that Premier League survival remains the club's primary objective this season, though that stance has not dulled his competitive edge heading into the tie.
Jordan Pickford has drawn praise from Moyes in the build-up to the new campaign. The England goalkeeper has looked sharp in training and produced an impressive performance in Everton's opening Premier League fixture, giving the visitors a reliable foundation at the back.
For Preston, the Carabao Cup represents a chance to build momentum after a difficult start in the league. Heckingbottom's side did show resilience in the previous round, beating Huddersfield Town on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and Deepdale will provide a partisan atmosphere to draw on.
