Spurs’ Under 18 side will play their first competitive game of 2022, when they face Arsenal on Saturday morning (the game starts at 11:00am). The game which will take place at Arsenal’s training centre, is the first competitive meeting between the two sides at this level this season. Spurs won 2-0 against Arsenal near the start of last season, before losing 4-1 in the reverse fixture. Arsenal are three places and seven points above Spurs in the league, in sixth place in the Premier League South. Always very competitive games at this level, the game on Saturday should be no different. I would like to wish the team all the very best of luck for the game.

My predicted lineup: Gunter, Bryan-Waugh, Dorrington, Sayers, Hackett, Willhoft-King, Cassanova (c), McKnight, Haysman, Hall, Williams.

Subs from: Hayton, Andiyapan, Linton, Davies, Bloxham.

Injured/unavailable: N/A.

Doubtful: N/A.

Previous meeting: Spurs 1-4.

My score prediction: 2-2. 

My one to watch: Khayon Edwards. The second year scholar has scored nine league goals and provided three assists for Arsenal at this level, so far this season.
