Huddersfield Town have made a perfect start to the League One campaign and will fancy their chances of upsetting Leicester City with home advantage in this EFL Cup tie,
Boss Lee Grant couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off the new season, with his Town side winning their first two games without conceding a goal.
They romped to a 3-0 home win over a Leyton Orient side that reached last season's play-off final then won 2-0 on the road in Reading, with two bets landing for me.
Now they have the chance to claim the scalp of a Leicester City side who are in a period of transition after dropping down from the Premier League.
Marti Cifuentes replaced Ruud Van Nistelrooy as boss during the summer and kicked off his reign with a 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday.
Most people, including the Betting Desk, fancied the Foxes to romp their opener against a Wednesday side who had spent the summer mired in crisis and kicked off as 18/1 outsiders.
But it was the Owls who took the lead and it looked like they might hang on for a point with 10 men before Wout Faes headed a late winner.
It wasn't a convincing start so Cifuentes will be looking for a better performance when they kick off their EFL Cup campaign.
How the bookies view it: Foxes in for the kill
Two leagues separated these sides last season so BoyleSports have Leicester City as 20/21 favourites. Huddersfield Town are 11/4 outsiders and the draw pays 5/2.
Recent head to head: Leicester in command
These sides last faced off in the Championship two seasons ago and it was Leicester who came out on top, winning both fixtures. That made it eight games unbeaten against Huddersfield, with seven of those matches ending in victories.
Players to watch: May be worth a punt
Alfie May scored in Huddersfield's win over Orient on the opening day to get his Huddersfield career off to a flying start. The lively former Birmingham striker is 2/1 at BoyleSports to grab another goal.
Cifuentes could make a few changes to freshen things up and Patson Daka is likely to get more game time after coming off the bench on Sunday. The striker is 7/4 to get off the mark for the season.
Probable line-ups
Managers often field weakened teams in EFL Cup ties, particularly if they're chasing promotion, but this game is early enough in the season to suggest both sides should be along roughly similar lines to their last outing.
Cifuentes has more options at his disposal than Grant so the likes of Daka, Faes and Harry Winks could start after coming off the bench on Sunday.
Huddersfield Town: Goodman, Low, Whatmough, Miller, Roughan, Ledson, Gooch, Wiles, Harness, Kane, May.
Leicester City: Stolarczyk, Justin, Okoli, Faes, Thomas, Mavididi, El Khannouss, Winks, Soumare, Ayew, Daka.
Anything else catch the eye?
Leicester had a huge problem with conceding first last term, doing so more than any other side in Premier League history, and that continued into this campaign when Sheffield Wednesday silenced the King Power on Sunday.
So there could be some value here in backing Huddersfield at 21/20 in the one goal ahead market, which pays out if they take the lead at any point.
A lot will depend on how strong a team each manager picks but this should be a close one with Huddersfield in good form. The half-time draw pays 6/5 at BoyleSports, while backing most goals to come after the break is 20/21 with the same firm.
Leicester won 13 corners on Sunday so I also like the evens on offer at BoyleSports for them to rack up over 5.5 flag kicks in this cup tie.
