The Owls and the Shrimps go head-to-head in the first round of the competition tonight as they both look to try and book their spot in the hat for the next round of fixtures, and Moore doesn’t appear to be taking any chances as he names a strong line-up at Hillsborough.

Wednesday were knocked out of the competition by Plymouth Argyle in their opening fixture last season, and will be hoping for better as they take on a Morecambe side that have only lost two of their last seven games and beat Barnsley last month.
