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.
