Peterborough United host Arsenal U21 in the EFL Trophy second round at the Weston Homes Stadium on Tuesday (December 5, 7:30pm).

Posh advanced to the knockout stages due to the fact they won their group while Arsenal finished as runners-up to Reading, they lost their final group game 5-2 to the Royals despite fielding first teamers Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson.

Posh are expected to make a number of changes from the line-up that beat Doncaster in the FA Cup at the weekend.

LIVE: Posh vs Arsenal U21

Dornelly and Mills on

Sturge and Fuchs off

Great save from the visiting keeper, has to dive to his left to push away JCH's powerful header from Crichlow's cross.

Game is over as a contest, Posh toying with the really. JCH flicks an effort well over from an Ajiboye ball in.

JCH has the ball in the net, flag goes up for offside though.

Fuchs had played a wonderful looped ball forward, JCH had taken it down for Mothersille, got in back and slotted in from just inside the box.

Gower, Robinson

Sebastian Ferdinand, Josh Nichols on

On target from Nwaneri, Talley has to push it away and does so.

Arsenal free-kick 30 yards out, taking a long time to set it up.

Posh have survived that spell of Arsenal possession with no real danger, back on the front foot, good ball in from De Havilland, deflected towards goal by a defender.

JCH booked for a lunge in.

That should be 4

Sublime skill from Ajiboye to turn his full-back, sends in a ball, JCH works space at the near post, looks like he's going to shoot but surprisingly lays it across to Fernandez, rubbish shot, it's as if he was trying to clear it.

Saved by Talley!

Guessed the right way to deny Khayon Edwards.
