Pre-Match Report

U21s preview: Chelsea v Arsenal

ayden heaven

Our young Gunners will be looking to bounce back to winning ways as we head to Kingsmeadow for a big London derby clash against rivals Chelsea on Friday, March 1 - kick-off is at 7pm.

Under the guidance of Mehmet Ali, we sit in third place with 27 points from 14 games played and are just three points behind West Ham United in second place. 

We’ll be looking for a more positive result on the road this time around after we were beaten 3-0 by West Bromwich Albion on Monday night.

 

A look at the Blues

Our opponents, Chelsea, perch closely behind us in fourth place, trailing by a solitary point. With the league table teetering on a knife's edge, a mere four-point margin separates us in third place from Reading in ninth.

Fresh from a 3-2 victory over Norwich City in the Premier League Cup round of 16, the Blues enter this encounter in good form, having won their last five league fixtures, scoring 13 goals in the process.

Leading the charge for Chelsea is Ronnie Stutter, who has notched nine league goals this season. However, we must also be wary of the threat posed by Leo Castledine, who has racked up seven goals and eight assists along the way.

 

How to watch 

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 Mehmet Ali and one of his young Gunners, as well as highlights of all the action.
