Our under-18s host Tottenham Hotspur in a north London Derby on Tuesday, April 29. Kick-off at the Sobha Realty Training Centre is scheduled for 11am (UK time).
With three games to go, our under-18s are firmly in the U18 Premier League South title race, sitting just one point behind leaders Chelsea.
Last time out, our young Gunners extended their winning run to seven straight matches, with Max Dowman scoring all four goals in a 4-0 win over Reading.
The Opposition
Tottenham bring a good run of form into Tuesday’s derby, winning four of their last five matches, including a 6-4 win over us in the reverse fixture. Our rivals thrashed Leicester City 7-0 on Saturday, their tenth win in 20 league games this season.
Spurs sit five points behind us with a game in hand, so could still have a part to play in the U18 Premier League South title race if they win at the Sobha Realty Training Centre.
The dangerman this season for the Lilywhites has been Luca Williams-Barnett; the forward has 20 goals in 19 appearances for Tottenham’s under-18s, including two against us in March.
