U-21s: Cheltenham Town v Arsenal - The Brief

Our under-21s travel to the Jonny-Rocks Stadium on Tuesday to face Cheltenham Town in the Checkatrade Trophy.

THE STORY SO FAR

It’s been more than a month since we kicked off our Checkatrade Trophy campaign in the fine fashion.

Freddie Ljungberg’s side ran out 3-0 winners over Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena, with Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock all on target.

Since then, our under-23s have played five Premier League 2 fixtures without l defeat - keeping three clean sheets along the way.

The highlight was a comprehensive 4-0 win over Liverpool at Meadow Park, where Bukayo Saka scored his first goal at under-23 level and Nketiah hit a brace.
