Fleetwood Town triumphed over Championship opposition in the first round of this season's Carabao Cup when they beat Wigan Athletic at home. Ged Garner headed home the only goal of the game after 24 minutes, with Danny Andrew hitting the post when it looked like he might have doubled the League One side's lead. The Cod Army survived a late scare when Tom Pearce found Stephen Humphrys on the edge of the six-yard box but the Wigan striker fluffed his finish. 

Scott Brown has made no fewer than six changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Derby on Saturday, with Jakub Stolarczyk, Brendan Wiredu, Joe Garner, Cian Hayes, Carl Johnston and Drew Baker all starting.

Everton only managed to reach the third round of the Carabao Cup last season. The Toffees edged past Huddersfield in the second round, despite having a man sent off on the hour, with Andros Towsend scoring the winner after Tom Lees had cancelled out Alex Iwobi's opener. They were knocked out on penalties after a 2-2 draw with QPR at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in the following round.

Only four players who started Everton's 1-1 draw with Forest on Saturday are involved from the start tonight: Nathan Patterson, Tom Davies, Alex Iwobi and Salomón Rondón. Amadou Onana and Ruben Vinagre, who are both recent arrivals on Merseyside, make their debuts here. Chelsea target Anthony Gordon is on the bench.

Kick-off is at 7:45pm BST (2.45pm ET) today, Tuesday 23rd August. Read on to find out on how to watch a Fleetwood Town vs Everton live stream, wherever you are in the world, on TV, online and on mobile.
