John Sheridan admits that promotion from League Two is the priority for Notts County this season, but he will still put a strong team out for tonight's EFL Cup meeting with Scunthorpe United.

The Magpies travel to Glanford Park this evening for the first-round tie hoping to get through and hopefully secure a glamour tie in the next round.

Notts have enjoyed League Cup trips to Liverpool and Aston Villa in the last few years, giving their Premier League opponents a game and creating memorable nights for the Black and White Army.

Sheridan told reporters: "Every game I play I want to win, but the league is the priority. I'd be stupid if I didn't say that.

But with the cup there is always that attraction of getting a big team and going as far as you possibly can.

"I will put a strong team out to try to win the game because it will be a difficult one. We have to put up a brave showing and try to get a good result if we can."
