Kevin Ball will take charge of Sunderland's game with Peterborough following the sacking of head coach Paolo Di Canio.
Ball must cope without striker Steven Fletcher, who suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder at West Brom.
Peterborough duo Nathaniel Knight-Percival and Mark Little were sent off on Saturday and begin three-game bans.
Midfielder Danny Kearns missed out at the weekend because of a knock and will be assessed.
MATCH PREVIEW
Sunderland's only win under Paolo Di Canio this season was their League Cup victory against MK Dons, but the Italian won't be in charge for the Black Cats' next clash with League One opposition.
The Wearsiders scored four goals in the last 12 minutes to avoid an upset in the last round, but the 4-2 victory only served to delay the inevitable, with Di Canio dismissed 48 hours before this fixture.
Sunderland's next two league games are against Liverpool and Manchester United, but League One high-flyers Posh will also represent difficult opponents.
Darren Ferguson's side have won six of their eight league games so far and are only two points behind leaders Leyton Orient following Saturday's win against MK Dons.
They played the vast majority of that match with 10 men, and hung on for victory despite a second red card with 14 minutes remaining - suggesting team spirit is strong.
Moreover, Posh have 11 goals in their two League Cup matches this term - including a 6-0 humbling of Championship outfit Reading.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
The sides have never met before in the League Cup.
Sunderland have won five of their previous six games against Peterborough.
Posh have lost all three of their previous trips to Wearside, conceding a total of 12 goals.
Sunderland
Sunderland have alternated between progression and elimination in their last 11 home League Cup games. A defeat on Tuesday would maintain that sequence.
They were knocked out of the League Cup by lower league opposition at this stage last season, losing 1-0 at home to Championship side Middlesbrough.
The Black Cats have lost their last three games, their worst run since losing three matches in a row (to Reading, Arsenal and West Brom) in February.
Peterborough
Posh have won eight of their 10 games in all competitions this season.
They have scored 11 goals in the League Cup this season, more than any other side.
Lee Tomlin is the competition's leading scorer this season with five goals in two games.
No player has assisted more goals in this year's competition than Peterborough's Craig Alcock (three).
