UEFA Nations event
Cardiff City and Arsenal U21 meet in EFL Trophy — one fixture among the hundreds English football gets through, week in and week out, across a pyramid that runs from the Premier League all the way down to the regional divisions. Promotion and relegation tie every rung of that ladder together, which is why a result here matters whatever the level. Below: form, the head-to-head, and the goals, before any odds enter the picture.

When Cardiff City and Arsenal U21 have met
Few places keep football records as long as England does — the game has been organised here since the nineteenth century, and a head-to-head often reads truer than the league table. The earlier meetings we hold are below; a blank table just means there's nothing logged between these two yet, which happens often enough in cup ties that throw together clubs from different divisions.

Worth reading alongside the form rather than on their own — English sides can carry very different records home and away, and a goals column only tells half that story.
