Wycombe Wanderers’ midweek League Cup win against Milton Keynes will no doubt ease a few concerns following last weekend’s home loss versus Exeter City.

And with the arrival of a 10th signing ahead of this weekend’s clash against up north, the excitement has once again hit those connected to the Chairboys.

So here’s everything you need to know for Lincoln City vs Wycombe Wanderers.

The lowdown on Wycombe

Game three into the 2023/24 term sees Matt Bloomfield’s side travel up to Sincil Bank to take on a Lincoln side that have mirrored the Chairboys’ campaign so far.

Both teams lost their opening day fixture but won in the cup in midweek.

It is expected that Ryan Tafazolli and Chris Forino should be in the squad to face the Imps this weekend despite suffering knocks in the 2-0 victory against MK, whilst new signing Killian Phillips could make his debut following his arrival from Crystal Palace on Friday.

Changes to the starting 11 could also be made as Matt Bloomfield wants to utilise his squad due to heavy fixture congestion as by the end of August, the Chairboys would have played seven times.

The lowdown on Lincoln

The Imps had one of the best home records last season, losing just twice.

In fact, it was one of the best home records out of the entire Football League.

However, they drew 14 of their 23 matches at Sincil Bank, winning just seven.

This helped them achieve a 11th-place finish in what was their fourth year back in League One.

Additionally, they go into this weekend’s clash against Wycombe with a new face in the squad following the signing of Jack Burroughs from Coventry City.

They have signed the right winger on loan for the rest of the season with the deal being confirmed on August 10.
