The EFL Trophy is the cup of the English third and fourth tiers, and what sets it apart is that it invited the academy sides of the big clubs. A typical tie therefore pits a professional League One club against the under-21s of Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester City. That mismatch is not the one you would expect: on one side eighteen-year-olds trained in the best academies in the country, on the other professionals playing for their appearance money and their place in Saturday's eleven. That contrast is what makes the night worth watching, and it exists in no other English competition. Games are played in midweek, in the evening, British time. For the viewer, it is also the first chance to watch players whose names will come up again in two years.
