In other news, our youngsters are this season competing in the new Under-17 Premier League Cup, which has been brought in as an amalgamation of the previous Under-18 and Under-16 incarnations of the competition during the COVID-19 period.
The 2020/21 tournament features seven groups of four teams, with clubs playing each other once, at home or away. The group winners and the best runner-up will advance to the quarter-finals.
We began the competition with a 1-0 home win over Leicester City on Wednesday, Eddie Carrington scoring the winner from the penalty spot.
Norwich City and Arsenal are also in our group – we’ll face them later in the season.
