A place in the last 16 is up for grabs when the Potters welcome Fleetwood Town to ST4 in a fortnight's time.
On the other hand, Fleetwood Town's most recent Carabao Cup match saw them defeat League Two side Rotherham 2-1, proving that Fleetwood Town is also aiming high, despite competing in League Two. The match was a clash of familiar foes, with Fleetwood emerging victorious.

Fleetwood's lone goal came in stoppage time, thanks to an own goal by James Chester.
