City aiming for second cup upset

After dispatching League 1 Swindon Town at the County Ground in Round 1, Exeter City will head to Premier League Sunderland tonight for the next step in their Capital One Cup adventure.

The Mackems got their first point of the campaign this weekend as Jermain Defoe's goal cancelled out Swansea City's Bafetimbi Gomis's opener, but they have suffered defeats at the hand of Leicester City and Norwich City in their other early fixtures.

City striker Tom Nichols will fulfil an ambition when he lines up against his boyhood heroes on Tuesday night, but the Grecians are expected to make changes after what was a bruising encounter with York City at the weekend.
