Pre-Match Report

U18s preview: Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal

Theo Julienne

Our young Gunners team face their second match in just three days as we journey south to take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday, April 9, with kick-off set for 12pm.

Currently positioned in fifth place, we've accumulated 32 points from 18 games. A victory over the Seagulls would propel us past Fulham into fourth place, with a game in hand.

In our previous game, we were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at home against West Bromwich Albion, conceding a late equaliser. However, it's worth noting that we remain undefeated in our last three matches, during which we've netted an impressive total of 15 goals.

 

A look at Brighton

Brighton currently occupies the eighth position in the league table with 22 points from 18 games. Their recent form hasn't been ideal, coming off a 3-2 loss to Fulham last Saturday and enduring a three-game winless streak.

However, it's worth noting that Brighton emerged victorious in the previous encounter between us last month. Despite initially taking the lead through Chido Martin Obi, our team went down to ten men and Brighton went on to secure a 3-1 win.

Leading the charge for Brighton's attack is forward Remeiro Moulton, who boasts five goals and three assists in 16 league appearances this season.
