This Saturday, October 5, our under-21s will host the season’s first north London derby at the Mangata Pay UK Stadium. Kick-off is at 1pm (UK time).

Our young Gunners currently sit in 5th in Premier League 2 with 12 points from four games this season. Mehmet Ali’s side will be determined to bounce back with three points after suffering their first defeat of the season against Liverpool last week.

The Opponents

Tottenham, last season's Premier League 2 champions, come into the derby in poor form. Despite a dominant campaign that saw them claim the play-off final with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland in May, they’ve struggled in the early stages of this season.

With just one win from four games - an opening-day triumph over Chelsea - Spurs currently sit 23rd out of 25 teams in the Premier League 2 standings. A heavy 3-0 defeat to Leeds United last week will have them just as hungry for redemption.

How to follow

You can attend the match in person for free. Entry is free entry to all Premier League 2 and UEFA Youth League fixtures at Mangata Pay UK Stadium.
