Real Madrid's priorities lie with defending the Champions League and winning their first La Liga title since 2012 yet Zinedine Zidane seems to have done an outstanding job at talking up this game.

"We have a cup final with two teams who are both capable of winning. The only thing that I'm concerned about is whether we are ready, and we are," said the France 1998 World Cup winner.

"Pre-season was very good. We have had time to prepare ourselves. We need to give it our all from the first minute, to work hard, to concentrate. In football you never know what can happen. It's 50-50."

Is Blackburn Rovers manager Owen Coyle feeling the heat already?

Coyle's first game in charge of Championship Rovers ended in a disastrous 4-1 home defeat by Norwich City last Saturday and now they face a tricky EFL Cup tie at League Two Mansfield Town.

"Blackburn Rovers are a big scalp, Mansfield will be up for the game, and so they should be," said former Burnley and Bolton boss Coyle, who was appointed Blackburn manager in June.

Walter Zenga won Serie A with Inter Milan as a goalkeeper. Tonight his first home match in charge of Wolverhampton Wanderers is against...League Two Crawley Town in the EFL Cup.

"The first time is special because it’s the first. It's going to be emotional," said the 56-year-old former Italy international, appointed by Wolves last month.

"As a coach I have to think game by game without being enthusiastic or sad or nervous for some result that doesn’t come.”

What a summer of change for Sevilla.

Since beating Liverpool in the Europa League final in Basel they have lost Unai Emery, their boss of the last three years, to Paris St-Germain, while there have been plenty of changes on the playing front.

Emery has been replaced by Jorge Sampaoli and the former Chile boss has wasted no time bringing in new signings.

Sevilla have lost striker Ciro Immobile to Lazio, French forward Kevin Gameiro to Atletico Madrid and striker Fernando Llorente to Swansea City.

Among the players coming in are Atletico Madrid forward Luciano Vietto, Japan midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake from Hannover and Argentina defender Gabriel Mercado from River Plate.

A couple of interesting lines of team news from tonight's EFL Cup first-round ties...

Ethan Ampadu - at 15 years, 10 months and 26 days old - will become Exeter City's youngest ever debutant when he starts for the League Two side against Brentford this evening.

At the other end of the age scale, Wycombe's 43-year-old manager Gareth Ainsworth has named himself among the substitutes for their first-round tie against Bristol City.

This time last year Grimsby Town were playing the likes of Kidderminster Harriers and Barrow in the National League.

Tonight the newly-promoted League Two club travel to Derby County looking to cause an upset by knocking their Championship opponents out of the first round of the EFL Cup.

"It's not nice to say and it won't be nice for fans to hear, but if Derby are anything close to being on their game, then realistically, they should win the tie," said Grimsby boss Paul Hurst.

"We have to hope for a bit of an off day from them and hope that we can raise our own game – and that's what we'll do."

They have won the Champions League twice since they were last crowned champions of Spain, but are Real Madrid any closer to ending Barcelona's domestic dominance?

The Uefa Super Cup might not top the list of priorities for either side but could offer some clues about the season ahead as Real look to win La Liga for the first time since 2012.

Will this be their season?
