Why It Matters
The EFL Trophy aims to provide League One and League Two clubs with a chance to compete for silverware and a prestigious Wembley appearance. Since its inception, the tournament has included Premier League academy sides, a move that has sparked controversy among traditionalists. Argyle has never won the competition, making this match crucial for their aspirations to secure their first title.
