Zépiqueno Redmond 🇳🇱
Huddersfield Town 🏴 scheduled to play Rotherham United 🏴 in the EFL Trophy however Zép will play no part after being recalled early from his loan having suffered an injury hit spell in Yorkshire, last featuring as a 70th minute substitute in Town's 0-0 draw with Burton in September. Zép had scored his first for the club in the previous game, coming on in the 76th minute of Huddersfield's defeat to Bradford and scoring a consolation four minutes later.
Villa intend to loan Zép elsewhere until the end of the season however, a recurrence of his on-loan injury requires rehabilitation at Bodymoor.

Finley Munroe 🏴
Swindon Town 🏴 scheduled to play Luton Town 🏴 in the EFL Trophy.
Finley's not in the squad after being recalled from his loan by Villa, with rumours of an impending £350k move to Championship Boro in the offing.
Finley had delivered seven goal involvements in 23 games for Swindon leading boss Ian Holloway to exclaim:
"I don't think I've had as good a full-back potentially in my lifetime, wherever I've been."
Finley Munroe:
What a club. I know it was short, but I’ve loved every second of it. I want to thank my teammates for making me feel welcome from the minute I arrived. I’ve made friends that will last a lifetime. To the fans, your support and chanting my name is something I’ll never forget.
Finley leaves Villa for promotion chasing Championship side Middlesbrough in a £350k deal with a 30% sell on clause.

Aidan plays the full 90 as Swindon win to reach the 4th Round. But will the result and match be expunged after Swindon make an error on their team sheet as a player, not registered for the game, comes on as a second-half sub, delaying the match for 8 minutes?

Port Vale 🏴 scheduled to play Bolton Wanderers 🏴 in the EFL Trophy.
Joe is rested ahead of the weekend's crucial League One fixture.
"Every player wants to play.
"I haven't been in the team for a month or so which, for any player, is difficult. I hope it continues and I can build some momentum.
"It's been really good since the gaffer's come in.
"The messaging has been clear.
"As a group, we're looking at this as a clean slate. - a change of management style, of tactics.
"I don't want to say it's a completely fresh start because it's not, but we know what the job is ahead of us.
"We're all 100% committed to getting us to safety and keeping us in League One. Results are the most important thing for us now."
Joe puts the boot in on the departed dopey Darren Moore.
