Stockport County travel to North Yorkshire to face Harrogate Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup.

The Hatters have lost their opening two matches in their return to the Football League, dropping one-goal games to Barrow and Stevenage.

The Sulphurites have split their opening two matches, defeating Swindon Town 3-0 followed by a loss to Crwwe Alexandra by the same scoreline.

Stockport will be making their first appearance in this competition since 2010 and seek their first win since 2007.

Team news

Harrogate

Simon Weaver continues to be a bit shorthanded as defenders Rory McArdle and Will Smith as well as captain Josh Falkingham and midfielder Max Wright all battle injuries.

Tyler Frost could return after missing the defeat to Crewe on Saturday.

Stockport

Vitezslav Jaros is expected to start in goal as the on-loan Liverpool man will spell starter Ben Hinchcliffe.

Callum Camps is in line for his full debut while fellow new boy Joe Lewis will start in place of the suspended Ash Palmer at the back.

Key players

Jack Muldoon

Muldoon is in his fifth season with Harrogate, having hit for double figures in his previous four seasons and with Jack Diamond, who had 13 last season, returning to parent club Sunderland, the 33-year-old will be looked upon to again replicate his form since joining the Sulphurites.

Paddy Madden

Although Stockport brought in a dozen new players for their return to the Football League with plenty of attacking talent in the side, it's the exploits of Madden, who scored so many crucial goals among his 25 last season that helped seal promotion, that will prove to be key.

Likely lineups

Harrogate Town: Oxley; Richards, Burrell, Mattock; Thomson, Dooley, Austerfield, Headley; Pattison, Daly; Armstrong

Stockport County: Jaros; Horsfall, Lewis, Johnson; Southam-Hales, Croasdale, Camps, Sarcevic, Rydel; Quigley, Madden
