After spending ten seasons in League Two, Exeter City made a comeback to League One last season. Their performance in the previous season saw them finish 14th, a comfortable 12 points away from the relegation zone. The current season began on a positive note for The Grecians as they secured the 2nd spot in the league after eight rounds. Unfortunately, a series of four consecutive losses caused them to slip down to 11th place.
Arsenal U21 had a disappointing 7th place finish in Premier League 2 last season. However, this season has been much more promising as they currently sit in 4th place with 13 points, just five points behind the leaders, Tottenham U21. Additionally, their campaign in the EFL Trophy began strongly with a penalty shootout victory against League Two side, Swindon, in the first round.
Exeter City vs Arsenal U21 pick: Arsenal U21 to (AH 0) win
Exeter City’s current form is abysmal, having lost five out of their last six games and only managing to score two goals. In their recent EFL Trophy match against Reading, they suffered a humiliating 9-0 defeat, mainly because they fielded mostly backup players. This suggests a lack of enthusiasm for the competition, and there’s a possibility they might field a rotated squad once again.
Arsenal U21 had a stellar season, suffering only a single loss in seven games. Over the last three matches, they notched an impressive seven points and showcased their efficiency by scoring a total of eight goals.
Due to the significant contrast in form and the likelihood of Exeter City rotating their squad once more for the EFL Trophy, we believe that Arsenal U21 are the favored team to emerge victorious in this match.
Exeter City team news
Coach Gary Caldwell expressed his disappointment following a 1-0 defeat against Barnsley. Despite believing that his team performed admirably and were superior, he acknowledged that they were responsible for their own downfall. The coach emphasized the numerous areas that needed improvement, stressing the necessity to enhance every aspect of their game.
Exeter City made significant changes to their lineup in the previous EFL Trophy match against Reading, and we anticipate a similar squad selection when they face Arsenal U21.

Arsenal U21 team news
According to numerous football experts, Ethan Nwaneri is considered one of the most talented players in the Arsenal U21 team. Despite being only 16 years old, Nwaneri has already showcased his skills by scoring five goals and providing two assists in six appearances this season. However, reliable sources suggest that he is likely to be absent from the upcoming Exeter game due to an injury. Additionally, midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly is also expected to miss the game due to an injury.
Keep an eye on Reuell Walters as he shows promise to potentially join Arsenal’s senior team in the near future. This 18-year-old player impresses in both center-back and right full-back positions.
