John Sheridan to select strong Notts County squad against Scunthorpe United

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."
