This Tuesday, August 8, 2017 (11:45 AM Pacific) Wycombe Wanderers will host Fulham at Adams Park for a match in the first round of the EFL Cup. Both teams will be aiming for success in their respective leagues and to get past this first round of the EFL Cup.
Wycombe Wanderers had a decent 16-17 season in the League Two, finishing in ninth under Gareth Ainsworth in his fifth year at the helm. The Blues had a decent start to the new season, obtaining a 2-2 draw against Lincoln City away from home.
The offseason signings of some key veterans like Adam El-Abd and Nathan Tyson should add experience and depth to the League Two side. The game should be an interesting one in the intimate confines of Adams Park and Wycombe could give Fulham a decent contest to start this English League Cup.
Fulham had a productive 16-17 season in the Championship, finishing sixth but did have its Premier League hopes destroyed by Reading in the playoffs.
Slaviša Jokanović is looking like the right man for the job that could return The Whites to Premier League glory. The offseason signings of players like Ibrahima Cisse, Tomas Kalas and Jozabed Sanchez could propel the team to another playoff finish and beyond this season. The Cottagers should also have a solid performance in this EFL Cup starting by a win in this game at Adams Park.
