Gillingham host Cambridge United in an EFL Trophy group match at Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Gills enter the contest in excellent form, unbeaten in five games and on a run of three consecutive victories.
Steve Evans's side sit fourth in the League Two table with 12 points from seven matches, just three points behind leaders Barnet. Their recent results include a 3-0 home win over Bristol Rovers last Saturday, where James Brophy and a S. Kendall brace secured the points. They also beat Tranmere 2-0 and Rochdale 4-1 earlier this month.
Cambridge United arrive after a 1-1 draw away at Oxford United. Their recent form shows two wins, two draws and a loss from their last five outings. The U's last starting lineup featured Jack Eastwood in goal with Sam Curtis and Kieran Watts in defence, while Pelly Mpanzu and Sullay Kaikai provided attacking support.
Gillingham are expected to rotate their squad for this cup fixture, with their next league game a trip to seventh-placed York on Saturday.
