Our under-18s will be looking to bounce back from last week’s disappointing defeat in the FA Youth Cup with a much-improved performance against Leicester City on Saturday. Kick-off is at 11.30am (UK).
Despite being knocked out of the Youth Cup, we are going strong in the league, sitting in fourth place with 21 points after 11 games played. Furthermore, we have won our last three league games in a row with victories over Norwich, Aston Villa and last week against Reading.
A look at Leicester City
The Foxes currently sit in eighth place with 14 points and are currently five games without a win in all competitions. Their last outing in the league saw them draw 1-1 away to Crystal Palace.
A player to look out for is Kirsten Otchere. The midfielder has five goals and two assists in the Under-18s Premier League so far this season.
The last time we met earlier in the season at London Colney, we came from behind in dramatic fashion despite being down a player thanks to two late goals from Michal Rosiak and Omari Benjamin.
