EFL Trophy acca: Goals galore on the cards as Arsenal and Brighton youngsters look to shine

Papa Johns Trophy / EFL Trophy

Planet Sport looks ahead to a busy night of EFL Trophy action on Tuesday, August 22.

You want to see goals? You came to the right place. 

EFL Trophy returns this Tuesday night, with plenty of attacking action expected across the four listed matches.

Here, we take a closer look at what's ahead and pick out a tasty tip for each fixture.

Swindon Town vs Arsenal U21

Swindon have enjoyed an explosive start to the League Two season, with their first three matches producing 17 goals. Nine of them have been scored by Swindon themselves.
The Arsenal U21s aren't far behind when it comes to goalmouth action. The young Gunners have scored seven goals across their opening two games of the season - conceding just once.

Tip: Over 3.5 goals

Walsall vs Brighton U21

Think Swindon and Arsenal youngsters can score? Wait until you get a load of this.
Walsall have been involved in five competitive matches this season, which have collectively produced 23 goals.
Brighton, on the other hand, have seen 11 goals across their first two outings - five of them in favour of the Seagulls.

Tip: Both teams to score

Stockport County vs Manchester United U21

The only team who may offer some sort of defensive stability could be Stockport.
The League Two side kept a clean sheet against Barrow last weekend - their first zero of the new campaign.

Manchester United's youngsters haven't performed any better than the senior side, losing their first two games of the season and conceding five goals in the process.

Tip: Stockport to win

Portsmouth vs Fulham U21

Both teams have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, with Portsmouth looking especially impressive in League One.
Pompey have won three of their last four competitive games, scoring eight goals and conceding one in the process.
While Fulham U21s boast a 100% winning start to their season, our recommendation is to back the hosts to turn on the style at Fratton Park.

Tip: Portsmouth to win
