Everton will be looking to end their losing streak when they host Sunderland in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The Blues have been beaten in their last four matches - all without scoring - and will be desperate to return to winning ways.

The ECHO's Everton reporter Phil Kirkbride and Head of Sport David Prentice will both be at Goodison Park to provide updates throughout with Chris Beesley and Neil Jones on duty back at our Old Hall Street base.

Despite lifting the FA Cup five times, Everton have never won the League Cup in any of its guises and will also be wary of falling victim to another upset having been eliminated from this competition at the same stage last season at home to another Championship side Norwich City who fielded a virtual second string side.

There are plenty of former Blues in the Black Cats squad who will be looking to put one over on their old club if selected while home goalkeeper Jordan Pickford - if selected - could face the side he left this summer.

It should also be noted that both teams will wear the logo for the Bradley Lowery Foundation on their shirts in the place of their usual sponsors.
