19:00 Stockport County vs Wigan Athletic 

Eventually falling to a shock 3-0 drumming at the hands of Luton over the weekend, Stockport will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, embarking on what has been a public fairytale since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Dave Challinor’s men are leading the chase at the top of the League One table. Now pencilled in as a standout contender to book a sensational Championship return, the Hatters have broken plenty of long-standing records. Getting November underway with a dominant 3-1 victory away at Tranmere, the Manchester-based outfit have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions. Signing off October with a 3-0 romp against Port Vale, Stockport have also lost just a pair of their previous 10 outings across all competitions. Likewise, Challinor’s side have lost just one of their last seven showdowns at Edgeley Park – a run that stems back to August 19th.

Once again scrapping it out at the foot of the League One table, Wigan are enduring what has been another rut. Despite eventually dragging themselves past sixth-tier outfit Hemel Hempstead earlier in the month as they extended on their FA Cup adventure, the Latics have continued to show some glaring issues. Despite landing a 1-0 win against Port Vale on October 18th, that is the only victory that Ryan Lowe’s side have recorded from their previous 10 consecutive appearances within 90 minutes. Failing to register back-to-back wins since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Tuesday’s guests have also gained a reputation for their struggles on the road. Including a 4-1 drumming against Bolton on September 20th, Wigan have failed to win any of their first eight straight matchups away from the Brick Community Stadium. In fact, continuing on from last season, Lowe’s side have recorded just a sole win on their travels since way back on January 18th.

19:00 Barnsley vs Lincoln

While Barnsley might have found themselves at the heart of a real struggle prior to October’s international break, the Tykes have largely turned a recent corner. Last seen putting in a stellar performance as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at local rivals Doncaster, Conor Hourihane will be demanding a repeat display here. Extending on their FA Cup adventure earlier in the month as they got November underway with an action-packed 3-2 win at home against National League outfit York City, Barnsley have won three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Putting a maiden EFL Trophy victory on the board last month as they secured a 5-2 win against Manchester United’s U21s, Tuesday’s hosts should be excited by their clinical performances in the final third. Along with notching 10 goals in their last four outings, Hourihane’s men have also notched at least a pair of goals in five of their previous six outings.

Although Lincoln might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Michael Skubala’s side have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Last seen over the weekend putting in a nightmare performance as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Rotherham, the Imps should be bracing themselves for another tricky test when they turn their attention back to EFL Trophy action here. Suffering a frustrating FA Cup exit on November 1st as they were hit with penalty shootout heartbreak against Salford, Tuesday’s guests have also collected just a single point from their previous three League One appearances. Now with just their goal difference keeping them in the play-off places, Skubala’s men have also shown some recent issues away from Since Bank. Failing to win any of their last four matchups on the road, this is their worst away rut since the start of April.
