    Might boost the first round a bit. Better test than a friendly

    Really like the league cup move, thought it worked well in the Covid year. Should see stronger team selections and better crowds in the 1st round

    I can see the comments on the Preview thread for the League Cup match:

    "How can we win this? Where are the goals coming from? Our strikers have failed to score ALL SEASON!"
