We say: Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Mansfield Town

 Sheffield Wednesday have not made the best of starts to the season, so the EFL Cup may be a welcome distraction, and we think they should be good enough to get the job done. Mansfield have started well in League Two, but their main aim will be promotion this season, so it is unclear how seriously they will take the EFL Cup, and Tuesday's game will be a tough test against Championship opposition.
