zac shuaib

Our under-18s return to league action this Saturday as we take on Southampton at the Sobha Realty Training Centre. Kick-off is set for 12pm (UK time).

Before the international break, our young Gunners demonstrated tremendous resilience, battling back from a 3-0 deficit to earn a 3-3 draw against West Bromwich Albion thanks to a hat-trick from Dan Casey, who has netted five goals in four games so far this season.


Opposition Watch

Southampton has had a mixed start to the season. They opened with a solid win against Fulham, followed by a draw with Crystal Palace. However, their momentum has stalled recently, suffering back-to-back defeats against Everton in the PL Cup and Aston Villa in the league. 

Their games have been eventful, with two of their players already seeing red cards in just four matches.
