    The EFL Cup has already started with a bang.

    Both Bristol City and Walsall's team sheets had a new look to them but it was the Saddlers who took their chance to shine.

    Aaron Pressley's second-half strike gave the visitors the lead and goalkeeper Jed Ward impressed to keep a relentless Robins side at bay.

    Just one goal in it to see Walsall through but an exciting start to the competition nonetheless.
