Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom was full of praise for his side as they put their name in the hat for the second round draw following a 1-0 EFL Cup win over League Two Barrow.
It was Preston's first win of the season after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Queens Park Rangers in their opening Championship game.
Saturday sees them host newly-relegated Leicester City (15:00 BST) who scored a late winner to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in their opening fixture.
"We spoke a lot about last season, there were a lot of good performances that didn't end up in win, the only way to put the game to bed is taking those chances," Heckingbottsom told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"When we had the bodies last season, our bench was really effective, we know how important that is going to be."
