After their thrilling Premier League Cup win over Brentford, Fulham Under-21s turn their attention to the the EFL Trophy and a trip to Leyton Orient on Tuesday evening (7pm ko).
Form
Leyton Orient:
The O's are still looking for their first EFL Trophy point after losing their group opener 2-1 against Gillingham. In League One, they sit in 16th and their most recent result was a 1-1 draw at Peterborough.
Fulham:
The young Whites continued their unbeaten run last Friday in comfortable fashion, firing six past Brentford in the Premier League Cup. Hayden Mullins' lads made a brilliant start to the EFL Trophy too, picking up a 3-3 draw against Portsmouth despite going down to 10 men just before half-time.
One To Watch: Jordan Graham
The wide attacker has been a regular feature under Richie Wellens, scoring three goals in eight league appearances so far this season. The 28-year-old joined the O's in August after making 25 appearances for Birmingham City throughout the 2022/23 campaign. He also featured three times for Fulham whilst on loan back in the 2017/18 season.
O'Neill: Brilliant Competition
After missing our EFL Trophy opener at Portsmouth, winger Ollie O'Neill is looking forward to testing himself against a senior League One side.
"It's a brilliant competition and one of the highlights of the season for us. They're all definitely a great set of games to be involved in. Leyton Orient will be a decent side, they got promoted last year and so they're on the crest of a wave. It'll certainly be a tough game and a good challenge for us."
When asked about the confidence within the group at the moment, the 20-year-old responded: "It’s definitely noticeable that we’re enjoying our football and playing some free-flowing stuff at times. Hopefully now we can keep it going."
On his personal form, he told fulhamfc.com: "I feel pretty good at the moment and I think I know what I produce at this level consistently over a period of time, so it’s just about maintaining that and keeping the goals coming until it’s impossible to deny."
