Derby day for Under-18s

Jamie Carr’s troops are unbeaten in all competitions in 2026/27, scoring an incredible 40 goals in eight games and sitting top of the early-season Under-18 Premier League standings, having only dropped points following a last-gasp Fulham equaliser at Motspur Park in September.

Attention now turns to what is always a fiercely-contested derby at the Gunners’ London Colney training base.

The hosts have won three, drawn one and lost two of their six league games to date, but have conceded fewer goals (six) than anyone else in the division.
