Oxford United Vs Brighton Live Streaming, EFL Cup 2025-26: Preview, Head-To-Head Record, More

Oxford United host Brighton & Hove Albion in the EFL Cup 2025-26 second round at the Kassam Stadium on Wednesday (August 27, 2025). Watch the Oxford vs Brighton, Carabao Cup football match live tonight.

Championship side Oxford United have endured a challenging start to their league campaign, having lost all three of their matches so far. This poor run of form has left the U’s at the bottom of the table. Their only victory this season came in the first round of the Carabao Cup, where they registered a narrow win 1- over Colchester United.

Manager Gary Rowett is facing mounting pressure to rejuvenate the team and will most likely field his strongest possible lineup for this crucial fixture. No doubt, he is aiming to secure a positive cup result and reverse their league fortunes.

Brighton & Hove Albion arrive at the Kassam Stadium without a win in their Premier League campaign so far. They drew 1-1 with Fulham and suffered a 2-0 defeat to Everton in their opening fixtures.

German manager Fabian Hurzeler will likely rotate his squad for this EFL Cup match, but Brighton certainly view the competition as a realistic chance to secure silverware this season. Avoiding an upset remains a priority for Hurzeler and his players.

So, veteran midfielder James Milner, a two-time winner of the trophy with Manchester City and Liverpool, is expected to start the match, while new signings Olivier Boscagli and Diego Coppola may make their debuts.
