Wycombe’s league campaign began with consecutive 3-0 defeats, which took place either side of their 2-0 win over MK Dons in the first round of the EFL Cup.
While those opening two league results would have disappointed Matt Bloomfield, the Wycombe boss will be pleased with the way that his side have responded in recent weeks, with their last three matches producing two wins and a draw.
After beating Leyton Orient 3-2 to claim their first league win of the season, the Chairboys played out a goalless away in their home meeting with Burton Albion.
They returned to winning ways at the weekend when they recorded a 2-1 away win over Bristol Rovers, courtesy of goals from Joe Low and substitute Gareth McCleary.
With Wycombe enjoying a positive run of form, they will now turn their attention to Tuesday’s cup tie, where they will attempt to reach the third round for the second time in the last three seasons.
Meanwhile, Sutton began the 2023-24 campaign with a couple of positive results, thrashing Notts County 5-1 before beating Cambridge United on penalties in the first round of the EFL Cup.
However, since that penalty-shootout success, Sutton have suffered four consecutive defeats, including a 3-1 away loss to Newport County on Saturday.

Despite taking the lead against Newport thanks to Omari Patrick’s 50th-minute opener, Matt Gray’s side conceded three goals in the final 20 minutes to leave Rodney Parade empty-handed.
Sutton, who are competing in the EFL Cup for the third time, will look to return to winning ways in their first-ever appearance in the second round.
Having conceded six goals in the last two games, Sutton will need to improve defensively if they are to trouble Wycombe on Tuesday.
