Next season’s EFL Trophy will be played out in front of tiny crowds of fans watching understrength teams play games which managers will say they don’t need.
No-one is really bothered about the competition – whatever it is called with all its sponsor name changes – until the prospect of a Wembley final finally appears.
Thousands of fans then jump on the bandwagon in the hope of seeing their side lift silverware at the national stadium.

So who are the favourites to take the trophy home this season? Here we look at the early odds via Paddy Power.
