This will be Walsall and Huddersfield Town’s first meeting in all competitions since a League One fixture on the penultimate day of the 2011-12 season, drawing 1-1 at the Bescot Stadium.

This will be just the third ever cup meeting between Huddersfield Town and Walsall with the Terriers progressing through the FA Cup in both 1938-39 (round 5) and 1975-76 (round 1).

Walsall already eliminated a higher league opponent in the first round of the League Cup (Exeter City), but they haven’t won multiple such ties in the same season in the competition since taking out Championship sides Nottingham Forest and Brighton in 2015-16, the last time they reached the third round.

Huddersfield Town have only won one of their last eight away games in the League Cup (D1 L6), though did beat Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in their last such game in August 2021, following a goalless draw.
