  • Man Utd have been eliminated from the League Cup in two of the last three games played at Old Trafford against lower league opponents – most recently losing out in a penalty shootout to Middlesbrough in October 2015.
  • Burton Albion are at the third round stage for just the third time in their history, losing to teams in the second and fourth tiers on those occasions.
  • The Red Devils have reached the fourth round in eight of the last nine seasons, with the exception being in 2014-15, losing out to Championship side MK Dons 4-0 in the second round.
  • Burton have faced Premier League opposition on three occasions in the League Cup, with the Brewers being eliminated twice and progressing past QPR in August 2014.
