Plymouth Argyle host Crystal Palace Under-21s in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday evening at Home Park, kicking off at 6pm UTC. The match comes three days after a 4-2 away win at Blackpool extended their winning run to three games.
Steven Schumacher's side sit third in League One with 13 points from seven matches, just two points behind leaders Bradford. Their recent form shows four wins from their last five outings, with striker Aribim Pepple leading the scoring charts with three goals this season.
Recent momentum
The 4-2 victory at Bloomfield Road was powered by a brace from Oliver Irow and further goals from Harvey White and Pepple. That attacking momentum, which also produced a 3-0 home win over Barnsley, is expected to be tested against a youthful Palace side. The visitors' last competitive match was a 3-3 draw with Bromley over a year ago, though they faced Swindon Town in a recent friendly.
Schumacher is likely to rotate his squad for the Trophy fixture, with the priority remaining a push for automatic promotion. The team's current standings position reflects a strong start to the campaign. Plymouth's next League One match is at home to Burton Albion on Saturday.
