Key Events

  • Both sides unbeaten in their opening two league matches ahead of tonight’s Carabao Cup first round clash
  • Doncaster Rovers are unbeaten against Lincoln City in the sides’ last eight meetings
  • Both sides expected to make changes for the match - Lee Tomlin could return for the hosts

Game Day Three is upon us

Tonight kicks off a busy month of Saturday-Tuesday action for Rovers - it could get busier should they progress to round two - and presents another fresh challenge for Gary McSheffrey’s side.

How will they cope against a good League One team, who held Portsmouth to a draw last weekend? It could be a useful litmus test for their progress since last season’s relegation. They will have to be better than Saturday to get a win tonight.

Both managers have said they will make changes for tonight’s clash, but insist they won’t be wholesale with them wanting to get through to the next round and potentially meet a Premier League side.
