Our Academy will be back in UEFA Youth League action at home to FC Copenhagen on Tuesday afternoon (1pm UK) – and you’ll be able to watch the game live on SPURSPLAY.
Led by Wayne Burnett, our young team enters matchday four proudly perched on top of the table in the league stage of the Under-19 competition.
We’re one of six sides – Athletic Club, Chelsea, Club Brugge, Real Madrid and Barcelona being the others – to have a 100 per cent record so far, but we’re sure to face a stern test against our Danish visitors at Hotspur Way.
With a number of regular starters in the competition unavailable – some are sidelined, while others are away representing England at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar – we’ll be forced to make changes, with a handful of players potentially in line for their first starts in the tournament.
As usual, our team for the Under-19 competition will comprise a mixture of players from our Under-21 and Under-18 squads. Both sets of players will be keen to make an impact after some disappointing results in recent days – the Under-21s slipped to a 2-1 home defeat to Southampton in the Premier League 2 at the weekend, while many of our Under-18s players were involving in last week’s 3-1 defeat at West Ham United in our third and final group stage match in the Under-17 Premier League Cup, a result that saw us eliminated from the competition after winning it last term. Reiss Elliott-Parris was our goalscorer against the Hammers.
Kick-off against FC Copenhagen will be at 1pm UK time on Tuesday – tune in to SPURSPLAY to watch the game live.
A full match report will be available here on tottenhamhotspur.com and the Spurs Official app afterwards as usual.
