Our under-18s will look to close out our 2023/24 campaign on a high as we entertain Chelsea on Saturday, May 11 at Sobha Realty Training Centre. Kick-off is scheduled for 11am (UK).

At the moment, we sit in third place with 44 points from 23 games, having won six out of our last eight and losing just once in that period.

Last time out, we narrowly lost 3-2 to Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby but another capital clash against the Blues provides us the chance to finish with a flourish.

 

A look at the Blues

Chelsea secured the Under-18s Premier League South title on Tuesday with a 2-1 away victory over Southampton.

Their impressive season has seen them accumulate 54 points, winning 17 out of their 23 games while drawing and losing three times each as they go into the final day.

At the forefront of the league leaders' attack is forward Donnell McNeilly, who has an impressive tally of 21 goals and six assists in just 19 league games this season.
