StevieDay1983 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Everton vs Salford The EFL Cup 2nd Round matches continue tonight and if the action is anywhere near as riveting as last night then we're sure to be in for some thrills and spills. The first game we are previewing this week is the 8:15pm BST kick-off between Premier League stalwarts Everton and League Two side Salford at Goodison Park. Can the home side build on their impressive start to the league? Everton spent big over the summer and the investment in new players appeared to show immediate effect with the Toffees running out as 1-0 winners against Tottenham away in their opening game. Manager Carlo Ancelotti now needs to make a decision of whether his new recruits will be rested for this game and saved for West Brom on the weekend or if they could do with the game time tonight. The club comes into this game with decent home form behind them having lost just 1 of their last 11 matches in all competitions at their home ground. Salford continue to look to evolve at an accelerated rate up the English football league pyramid. The Ammies finished in 11th place last season after points-per-game was used to decide league placings. Manager Graham Alexander brought in new faces over the summer including the likes of Tom Clarke from Preston, Jordan Turnbull from Northampton, and Ashley Hunter from Fleetwood. A 2-2 draw with promotion hopefuls Exeter wasn't a terrible start for the team but it wasn't the win they would have liked. The club was defeated 6-0 by Manchester United under-21s in the EFL Trophy last week so they'll want to avoid a repeat of that score-line here against a team that will likely be stronger with their line-up. It's always tricky to make calls in the EFL Cup early rounds. Upsets can happen quite frequently. I'm not sure how Everton will look to line up in this one but I'm fully expecting them to consider this as a trophy they stand a decent chance of winning. If they have any sense they'll see this as an opportunity to end their 25-year wait for a trophy. Salford will need a miracle to win this and I can't see them doing it.
