Excellent start for the youngsters.

I didn't realise the EFL Trophy was also the 'Bristol Street Motors' trophy


Liverpool U21s are in this again for the 2024/25 season of the EFL Trophy...


'The 2024–25 EFL Trophy, known as the Bristol Street Motors Trophy for sponsorship reasons, is the 44th season in the history of the competition, and is a knock-out tournament for clubs in EFL League One and League Two, the third and fourth tiers of the English football league system, as well as the "Academy teams" of 16 Premier League teams.

The defending champions are Peterborough United who defeated Wycombe Wanderers 2–1 in the previous season's final.'
