Crawley Town face a tough test against Joey Barton’s Bristol Rovers in the Carabao Cup tonight (Tuesday, August 9).

Having failed to pick up a point after two games in League Two, Reds manager Kevin Betsy will be looking for his first victory since taking over the club in the summer.

It won’t be an easy task, though, against League One Bristol Rovers, who come into the game fresh from thrashing Burton Albion 4-0.

Crawley will be looking for a quick change in fortunes after Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat against Leyton Orient – a week after losing by the same scoreline at Carlisle United.

Stay tuned for the team news and live match updates.
