Spurs’ Under 18’s final competitive game of the 2020/21 season will see them face Leicester City at their new training ground in Seagrave, on Friday (the game starts at 13:00pm). Matt Taylor’s Spurs side who are currently in sixth place in the Premier League South, can still achieve a fourth place finish if they beat Leicester today. Spurs recorded a 1-1 draw against Leicester in the reverse league fixture earlier in the season, but they have beaten the club from the English Midlands away from home during the two previous seasons. Leicester City have picked up 15 points from their 23 league games this season, and currently occupy 12th spot in the league, going into their final competitive game of the season. Leicester’s top scorer at this level – Will Russ, will definitely be a player that the Spurs defence will be aware of going into this game, while Terell Pennant is a player who has impressed against us at this level in recent seasons. A good 2020/21 season for the Spurs Under 18 side comes to an end today. It will be interesting to see whether some of the players from the level below, will step up to play for Matt Taylor’s side against Leicester. Jamie Donley has already played a good number of games for Spurs at this level this season. I would like to wish Spurs all the very best of luck for today’s match.
