Pre-Match Report

U18s preview: Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion

luis brown

Our under-18s will be looking to return to winning ways as we welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Sobha Realty Training Centre in the U18s Premier League on Saturday, February 24 - kick-off is at 12pm (UK).

Jack Wilshere’s young Gunners sit in fourth place with 27 points after 13 games played. We are just three points behind West Ham United in second with a game in hand.

Last time out, we were held to a 2-2 draw by Southampton. We led twice through goals by Kamarni Ryan and Dan Casey restored our lead early in the second half but we were pegged back late on.


 

Opposition look

Brighton currently sit in ninth place with 16 points from 13 games played, winning four, drawing four and losing five.

However, the Seagulls are in decent form having drawn 2-2 with second-placed Tottenham and then last week they beat their rivals Crystal Palace 4-2, despite having 10 men for the whole of the second half.

 

How to follow

We will be providing updates throughout the game on our academy Twitter page, and there will be a match report published on Arsenal.com after the final whistle.

We will also be sharing post-match interviews with Jack Wilshere and one of his young Gunners, as well as highlights of all the action.
