Tottenham Hotspur

Robert Vilahamn spoke to the media at Hotspur Way on Friday afternoon, ahead of our Barclays Women’s Super League fixture at Liverpool at St Helens Stadium on Sunday (12pm UK).

Here’s what he had to say…

Robert on the latest team news…

“No new injuries and Charli [Grant] is back training as well, so it's only the two suspensions with Drew [Spence] and Eveliina [Summanen] this weekend."

Robert on finishing the season strongly…

“It's a mixture of trying to get some good energy into the last few games to get the result, but the bigger thing is where we need to improve and try to get better for next season. You can’t fix everything that’s been going wrong this season in these last three games, but we’re learning a lot, we need to make sure we close this season over the goal line, we need to make sure these last three games we get some points, get some wins and go to the summer break with a better feeling, and make sure we fix everything we need to fix to look better next season.”

Robert on Ella Morris’ performances…

“When we scouted her last season, we were like “yes!” - that’s a Spurs player. That’s the kind of recruitment we want to do. Great character as well, great physicality and a good age to make sure she can develop to the top. She had a tough start with injuries here, I think she adapted quite well in pre-season, but she had some injuries, some set-backs from that, but the consistency now, the way she’s taking steps even if we’re not over-performing in the games, that’s very impressive. The bravery she has, she’s knocking on the door for the next step with England now and that’s why she has a long-term contract with us, so we can invest even more in her. Even if it’s a tough season, she’s one of the shining things.”

Robert on regaining confidence…

“We started a few weeks ago. We needed to find a way to play better, create more goal chances to get ourselves the results, we have improved. We play better, we dictate the game better, but we still need to find ways to win, which is very frustrating. Obviously, there’s a big thing on me there where I find better decisions, better tactics, to find a result before we go to the break, but this season isn’t over yet, we have three more games and we have a chance to win a few games. It's a chance to show the fans and media that we are taking steps, I think the players can show some more steps because a lot of them are going to play the Euros. We have a lot of stuff to do, even if the league (position) is not the most fun to watch right now, but it’s basically trying to get the energy, making sure those players who need to be picked up, are being picked up, the energy is everything to make sure we get the result. In the last game, 2-0 down, we actually got back to 2-2 and almost got to 3-2, we lost anyway, but you see the character of the players, you see what we’re doing and we need to find some good ways to balance the defence with the offence. We’re still creating chances, hopefully Liverpool can be the start of three good games before the summer break.”

Robert on Villa’s late winner last weekend & whether we should have played for a draw…

“You can say that if you go for a low block in the last 10 minutes, go for one point and if you succeed, it might be ok. We don’t want to be that kind of team, we had the momentum to score more goals and I think we actually had chances before that goal. It’s not like we went crazy, we played our normal style, we came back from 2-0 down and kept going, it’s not like we were pushing a button to keep going even more. You can definitely push the button to stop attacking but I want to develop this team to be a machine that wants to attack, score goals and be brave, so if I say to be not brave and protect a draw, that’s not me and that’s not this Club. We can definitely make better decisions in the game, it was not because of tactics that we conceded that goal, it wasn’t too much attacking but it was a mixture of quality and decision making.”

Robert on Liverpool…

“They changed coach, they have had a few really good results and I think they have a decent squad. We are quite near them; it's a game where we want to show we are better than Liverpool. We want to show that we are “best of the rest”, or whatever you want to call it, from the top four, and they are “best of the rest” according to the table, so we need to make sure we start winning against them. It’s a tough game, they have some good players and had some results lately.”

On Kit Graham’s recovery…

"She's following a plan, she's supporting the squad, and she's now on the grass, running and training on her own, so there's not enough time before we end the season to have her in collective training and in games, but she's taking the right steps. I think she will be ready and hopefully with the squad once we start up after the summer break, but you never know with these injuries, one month here and one month there, but the good thing is that she's in good spirits and looking very happy with the steps she's taking."

Robert on Martha Thomas’ form…

“We, collectively, have had an issue with not scoring too many goals, I think Bethany has obviously had really good moments, but the rest of the squad, we need to make sure we score more goals. So, we’ve worked on goal chances, but also being clinical in those situations. Martha is scoring a lot of goals in training so it’s when we get those moments in the games where she’s scoring. I’m a former striker, I know exactly how she feels when she’s waiting for that goal because it means so much for a nine, but she works so hard for the team. She’s always pushing and training hard, it’s just a matter of time before she gets that goal, then it’s going to be even more goals.”

Robert on Jess Naz being back on the scoresheet…

"She’s one of those (players) who we believe very much in and she’s taking big steps since I came to this Club. She had a setback this season when we didn’t really perform as a team, she didn’t nail the chances we created, and then she had a few games on the bench, but she took that so well. She had an assist against Leicester, then scored this goal, and her performance as well, she was really good one-v-one in this game, and also against Leicester. Now, she’s showing Sarina [Wiegman] why she should be in that [Lionesses] squad.”

Robert on Bethany England’s impact…

“With any players that has great leadership, they have a big impact on the squad. So, even if she didn’t do an assist or goal, she still has an impact, whether she’s in the squad or on the pitch. She trained well this week, didn’t have any setbacks from those minutes, so she can probably take more minutes in this game. Then it’s a question of how many minutes, being able to start her or bring her on, but that’s the decision for tomorrow. She’ll definitely be on the pitch for the minutes she can because she’s that good and you want to maximise the minutes you get with her. I also think she wants to come back and score a few more goals before the summer break because she’s very determined to show who she is, and who knows, there’s a Euros coming up, the form she had before her injury, if she scores a few more goals and shows character here, it’s never too late to get back in the national team.”

Robert on how to replace Drew & Eveliina for this weekend…

“We are aware what kind of players are not available. We have a plan, and you will see it on Sunday.”

Ben Davies supported Tottenham Hotspur Foundation in delivering football and reading activities for local schoolchildren today.

The session was delivered as part of the Premier League Primary Stars education programme that uses the appeal of football to help children be active and develop essential life skills.

Ben joined in with Year 5 and 6 pupils at St Francis de Sales Catholic Infant & Junior School, opposite Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as they took part in passing drills and small-sided matches.

He then headed to the classroom, where he supported Year 4 pupils developing their reading skills.

It was not the first time Ben has joined the Foundation’s education team, with our Welsh defender a prominent supporter of the National Literacy Trust. He has also visited the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham that is sponsored by the Club and based on the Stadium campus.

Ben, himself, has secured an economics and business degree from the Open University during his time with the Club, and was elected to the Professional Footballers’ Association's Players’ Board in November.

He said: “As a Club we represent our area and I think it’s vital we give back to our community. It’s so important what we do in the local community through the Foundation.

“The opportunity to come to sessions like the one today is something, as players, we all enjoy. We really do feel the rewards of engaging with our community and being able to give back as much as we can. It's the little things like seeing how happy the kids are that make it worthwhile.”

Over the last four years, the Foundation has engaged 7,000 children across almost 100 local schools through Premier League Primary Stars.

Andrew Wands, Foundation education manager, said: “Funding we receive from the Premier League, through the Premier League Charitable Fund, is really helping us make a significant impact.

“More than a third of primary school pupils are working below the expected standard for reading at the end of Key Stage 2 in Haringey, but last year we utilised Premier League Primary Stars resources to deliver 180 sessions to 240 reluctant readers, with those reporting English was important to them doubling as a result.”

Ange Postecoglou spoke to the media at Hotspur Way on Friday, ahead of our Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday (4.30pm UK).

Here's what he had to say...

Ange on our latest team news, including Heung-Min Son...

"We don't really have injury problems. We've only got really one that's kind of…obviously Sonny's the one that's kind of working, trying to work his way back, and he's improving, which is positive for us, not for Sunday, but apart from obviously the longer term ones, everyone else from the last game has backed up really well, so rest of the squads fit and available, and in terms of team selection we'll see, we’ve got another 48 hours to decide which way we go."

Ange on whether or not Sonny will be available for our UEL semi-final, first leg against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday...

"We’ll see, like I said, he's improving, its the first time he's kind of got out on the grass today, and he said he felt it's definitely better than what it was. So it's kind of a day by day decision."

Ange on if it's about 'getting through Liverpool unscathed'...

"I think you want to do more than that. You want to go there and compete against, obviously, a very good side, and compete well and it’s not just about getting through unscathed you want to get through having played well against the top team. And I think irrespective of what's on the horizon. That's the primary importance."

Ange on balancing this season's highs and lows...

"You just got to try to deal with what is before you. As you said, we are well aware our league form and league position is not good enough, but we also know there is an unbelievable opportunity on the horizon. I think irrespective, this club has had many seasons and a lot of clubs have had seasons where they have done outstandingly well in the league but don’t have the opportunity we have right now of being in the final four of a major European competition. That is where the focus is and where the focus should be irrespective, especially of a club that hasn’t had a lot of success recently. We have got a wonderful opportunity. The players have and the club has and collectively if we give ourselves every opportunity to progress to a final then I think hopefully the momentum we gain from that will give us a chance to do something special."

Ange on Arne Slot...

"He is an outstanding manager and as you said he picked up an outstanding team. They have been brilliant in the league this year. They have been really consistent, maintained a really high level. They have had the best players playing all the time and playing at a really high level. That is a credit to Arne, his coaching staff and the players themselves. They have been close in the last few years and the fact they are on the cusp of potentially winning another title is a credit to everyone involved."

Ange on if Sonny needed treatment or rest...

"A bit of both. The foot element because it is weight bearing you just need to give him some rest and some time off it and give him some treatment. The main is to get him off his feet for a week and allow it to settle so he can start the process of getting back."

Ange on Cuti Romero...

"I haven’t read the report too closely but I mean it’s like me, if you get asked a question, you have got to answer it. I am sure there is a lot or if you ask me a lot of questions about my future, you’d probably get some great headlines out of that as well, but it doesn’t change (anything). Do you know what’s important right now? It is not Cristian Romero’s future or anyone else’s future, it is that we have an unbelievable opportunity to do something special at this football club and for me and everyone involved internally, that is what we’re concentrating on. Let’s put our heads down and make sure, because I think for our supporters that is what’s the most important thing to them, right now all they care about is that we’re in the last four of a European competition and we want to do something special. That is where our focus is."

Ange on Pedro Porro's season...

"He’s a pro, he looks after himself, he does everything right on and off the field, but also he’s got the type of body that is resilient to the amount of intensity and game-time he’s had. It is a credit to him. It is not just that he’s playing, he has kept to a really good level all year and has been a mainstay for us in a defence where I hate to think of how many defensive partners he’s played with. Four goalkeepers and upwards of 10 different defenders that he’s played alongside, he’s kind of been a constant. He’s been brilliant for us. From the moment I arrived he’s got a great personality, got great enthusiasm and passion for the game. I think that is why he gets the most out of himself all the time."

Ange on Richarlison, and what impact he might have made if he was fit all season...

"I’m not sure, but not just this year, if you look at his record last year when he was playing, he was pretty compelling. With Richy, we haven’t been able to keep him fit and out there long enough, but the good thing is he is in a real good place physically now. Certainly with the opportunity we have before us, he becomes a real important player for us."

Ange on Richy's different attributes to Dominic Solanke...

"Just a different type of player. Richy is a real 18-yard box striker where he makes an impact when the ball arrives in the box. Whether that is on the air or on the ground, he is a real impact player and tends to play around those areas whereas Dom will work in other areas, but ultimately they are both strikers that fit into how we want to play. Just with Richy we haven’t had him available to us."

Ange on Archie Gray...

"With all of these things, people just look at them as a moment of time. If you had have said at the start of the year that Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Mikey Moore would have played the amount of time they have as teenagers, I wouldn't have said that that's impossible. They've played a lot, they've played a lot because they've earned it, obviously opportunity as well, but Archie will play, he'll play even between now and the end of the year, he'll play significant minutes. Just the games haven't worked out the way we wanted them to, and we needed to get game time with other guys. He's fit, he's available, other guys, it wasn't the case. As I said, we've got a real clear focus about where we need to be for the rest of this year and who needs to be in a good physical condition. Archie is in good physical condition, others weren't, so we had to give them some game time but there's no doubt that Archie will play a significant role still for the rest of this year."

Ange on our three games against Liverpool so far this season...

"That's the story of our season and you know we've fluctuated between being really good at times with other times not so good. I mean they're the only team that's really beaten us comprehensively. I'm not really sure what the figures are, but out of the 18 games or whatever we've lost in the league, I think 15 of them have probably been by a goal, so it's not like... but Liverpool for sure, they have beat us up a couple of times. Like you said in the cup game first leg, I thought we were really good, we took the game to them even though again we had quite a few absences and. worked really hard to get a win in that game, so we know it's going to be tough at the weekend, but at the same time I think it's a great challenge for us."

Ange on how he feels personally about the Premier League campaign...

"It's not about me, it's not about what I feel and me personally, it's about us as a club and obviously, you know, like I said, we've fallen well short, but we can assess all that at the end of the year in terms of the totality of my two years here. So you know, let's assess it there."

Ange on being able to switch off...

"No, fair to say you can't really switch off. I think there's plenty going on that keeps you really focused and we've got an unbelievable opportunity on the horizon that I'm well and truly laser focused on making sure we we give ourselves the best chance of success."

Robert Vilahamn has reported that Charlotte Grant is back and available for selection for our trip to Liverpool in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday (12noon UK).

The defender missed our home clash with Aston Villa last weekend having picked up a small knock while on international duty for Australia earlier this month.

However, ‘Charli’ has since returned to full training this week and could be available to face the Reds at St Helens Stadium this weekend.

Drew Spence and Eveliina Summanen, meanwhile, will be suspended for Sunday’s clash with Liverpool after an accumulation of five yellow card offences.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, he said: “No new injuries and Charli is back training as well, so it's only the two suspensions with Drew and Eveliina this weekend."

Hayley Raso, Luana Buhler and Kit Graham all remain unavailable for selection.

Robert was asked about an update on Kit's progress in the press conference: "She's following a plan, she's supporting the squad, and she's now on the grass, running and training on her own, so there's not enough time before we end the season to have her in collective training and in games, but she's taking the right steps.

"I think she will be ready and hopefully with the squad once we start up after the summer break, but you never know with these injuries, one month here and one month there, but the good thing is that she's in good spirits and looking very happy with the steps she's taking."

Joe Gomez remains Liverpool's only absentee ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash at Anfield (4.30pm UK).

The England international defender has been out since picking up a hamstring injury in Liverpool's surprise FA Cup exit at Plymouth Argyle on 9 February.

He has yet to resume full training, but Liverpool boss Arne Slot suggested in his pre-match press conference on Friday that he could yet return before the end of the season. “If his recovery goes well, he would be able to (play) maybe in the last one or two games of the season," said Slot. "He is still not training with us yet, but he is coming closer and closer to train with the team."

Liverpool need a point to clinch the Premier League title, and Slot added: "There is a game to be played against a Tottenham side that is playing for something special as well, maybe not in the league but definitely in the Europa League. So, they want to go towards Bodo/Glimt in the best possible prepared way.

"We are only focused on the next opponent and that is Tottenham now. So, we will try to prepare the team the same way we have the whole season and hopefully the team, the players, can bring the energy, the same mentality towards the game as they've brought throughout the whole season."

A European semi-final under the lights beckons as we host FK Bodø/Glimt next Thursday (8pm) for one of the biggest occasions staged at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to date.

We’re collaborating with THFC Flags to deliver a visual atmosphere befitting of a famous European night – we thank THFC Flags and the volunteers who give up their time in organising the fantastic displays we see at the stadium throughout the season.

Let’s all come together to create an unforgettable Lilywhite Night in N17. Here’s how you can get involved...

Tifo and flags

Ahead of kick-off, a tifo display of our ‘To Dare Is To Do’ motto will fill the entire south stand - creating an iconic vision synonymous with some of the stadium’s most memorable occasions.

All fans in the South Stand will be asked to hold up our blue and white 100% recyclable bags as the teams emerge from the tunnel - South Stand ticket holders will be emailed with further details.

To round off a spectacular visual display, flags will be placed on seats in all other areas of the stadium, ready to be raised and waved as the teams walk out.

This will be further complemented by a large display of flags across the lower tier of the East Stand, organised by THFC Flags.

Any fans with seats in blocks 122, 123 and 124 can get in touch with THFC Flags via DM on X or Instagram (@THFCFlags) or by emailing thfcflags@gmail.com to volunteer as a flag bearer for the match.

Wear something white

As is tradition on European nights, our players will be wearing all Lilywhite for the match and we invite our fans to join us.

The tradition extends back to our first ever competitive European tie back in 1961, when the great Bill Nicholson introduced the all-Lilywhite strip for our 8-1 triumph over Polish side Gornik Zabrze.

As we have done on European nights in the past and has always created such a strong visual effect, we encourage fans attending to wear something white - such as your favourite home shirt from down the years - to create a sea of Lilywhite in the stands throughout the game.

Arrive early

To make the most of the excitement in the build-up to kick-off - and to be part of the special atmosphere – we are encouraging fans to take their seats as early as possible, at least 15 minutes before the 8pm kick-off.

Please note, due to UEFA regulations, our trumpet rendition of ‘Oh When the Spurs Go Marching In’ will play BEFORE the teams come out of the tunnel, so make sure you’re there in time to get in full voice.

Supporters arriving extra early can take advantage of our Early Bird promotion, which offers a free drink with every adult meal purchased in the first 30 minutes after doors open at 6pm.

Be there

If you haven’t already secured your seat, tickets are now on sale to Season Ticket Holders and One Hotspur Members.

We look forward to welcoming fans for this huge European night as we aim to put one foot in the Final of the UEFA Europa League.

Ange Postecoglou reports that Heung-Min Son is 'not ready' for Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield (4.30pm UK).

The skipper continues to recover from the foot injury that has kept him sidelined for our last three matches - Wolves, Eintracht Frankfurt and Forest.

Otherwise, Ange said that the squad came through the Forest game on Monday night with no further issues, meaning only Sonny and longer-term Radu Dragusin remain out.

Speaking on our Inside Spurs show at Hotspur Way on Friday, Ange told us: "Squad wise, there's no change. All the guys got through (Forest) okay. In terms of rehab, Sonny's the only one who is going through that process, improving, but not ready for Sunday.

"Again, with the programme we have coming up, Thursday obviously is a big night for us, so it will be a matter of playing a few that need the game time and others we feel may need less exposure, we'll have a look at that."

Speaking in his pre-match press conference later on Friday, Ange added: "We don't have injury problems, as such. The only one is Sonny, trying to work his way back. He's improving, which is positive for us, but not (fit) for Sunday. Everyone from the last game has come back well, so apart from the longer-term ones, the rest of the squad is fit and available."

Asked further about Sonny, and if the skipper would be available for our UEFA Europa League semi-final, first leg against FK Bodo/Glimt on Thursday (8pm UK), Ange replied: "We'll see. He's improving. It's the first time he's been out on the grass today, he said it felt distinctively better than it was. It's a day by day situation."

He was later asked if Sonny needed rest or treatment. "It's a bit of both," said Ange. "The foot element... it's weight bearing, so you need to give him some rest, some time off it, and get some treatment. The main thing was to get him off his feet for a week to allow it to settle, so he could start the process of getting back."

Viddal Riley will live the dream on Saturday - a Spurs fan and boxer from Tottenham challenging for a British title at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - on the undercard of one of the biggest domestic fights in recent history.

In his latest ‘In That Number’ feature in our Official Matchday Programme, Andy Greeves caught up with Viddal, who will challenge Cheavon Clarke for the British cruiserweight title at the stadium as part of the fight card for the Chris Eubank Jr vs. Conor Benn ‘Fatal Fury’ contest.

First of all, can we ask how you became a Spurs supporter?

Viddal: "I moved to Tottenham when I was around eight years of age. I can remember going out with my mum one day when it was a matchday and I couldn’t get over how many people there were. My mum explained ‘that’s our local football club, Tottenham Hotspur... this is where they play’. I remember thinking ‘okay, if I live here and the stadium’s right there, then this is my team’."

What was the first game you attended and what was that experience like?

Viddal: "I only got to my first Spurs game in the stadium a few years ago. It was a game against Fulham. I never went to a game as a youngster because I didn’t think I had the attention span to sit and watch a match for 90 minutes! But I’ve been to quite a few matches over the last few seasons and I always really enjoy the experience."

Having attended Premier League Kicks sessions run by Tottenham Hotspur Foundation when you were a pupil at Northumberland Park Community School (now Duke’s Aldridge Academy), how incredible was it to host a shadowboxing session as part of the same programme earlier in the year?

Viddal: "It was crazy. It was a full circle moment for me because I had attended Premier League Kicks sessions run by Tottenham Hotspur Foundation when I was a kid like you say. So, to be invited to a session as a special guest... that was very special. It was such an honour to be asked and I jumped at the opportunity. It is incredible that Tottenham Hotspur Foundation is still running these Premier League Kicks sessions 14 or 15 years on from when I attended them as a kid. The work the Foundation does as a whole for the local community is vital. The longevity of both the Foundation and Premier League Kicks shows how well received they both are. These programmes need to continue because they give kids in particular the opportunity to get together, to meet people they might not meet otherwise and to have fun."

What was it like meeting Ledley King at that Premier League Kicks session?

Viddal: "Ledley’s obviously a legend of the club, but he’s so down to earth and genuine. I’ve managed to see him a few times since and we’ve spoken on Instagram a bit. I went to the Legends game recently and it was great to see him back out on the pitch."

What have been your favourite moments supporting Spurs over the years?

Viddal: "I loved the team that won our last trophy - the League Cup back in 2008. Aaron Lennon, Dimitar Berbatov, Robbie Keane and Ledley, of course. What a team that was. So that final against Chelsea is a happy memory for me, winning the trophy with Jonathan Woodgate’s header. I was 11 at the time and what made it particularly memorable was seeing the reaction to winning the trophy in the local area. Everyone’s spirits were high. It was the same with that incredible win over Ajax in the Champions League semi-final (second leg) in 2019. I watched that game at my friend’s house in Tottenham, right by the stadium, and I was so hyped at what happened. Lucas Moura scored once and then you’re like ‘he’s scored again’ and then, with seconds left, he gets the winner. That was one of the all-time highs being a Spurs supporter. I can remember the scenes of celebration on the High Road after we’d won. You can’t beat that feeling. Being a boxer, you’re an individual but winning as a team... there’s nothing like it."

Who have been your favourite Spurs players over the years and why?

Viddal: "Jermain Defoe is definitely up there for me and so is Gareth Bale, especially for the season when he burst onto the scene in the Champions League (in 2010/11) and said ‘I’m going to be the guy’. Around the same time, we had Luka Modrić and Rafael van der Vaart, who were very special players too. Ledley is someone I’ve got huge admiration for. During his playing career, it was incredible how he wouldn’t be able to train during the week but then would produce the level of performance he did in a match on a Saturday. He was one of the best defenders around at that time and you just think ‘how could he do that without training?’ It’s incredible! As I mentioned earlier, the League Cup winning team of 2008 is a special one for me and it was great to see so many of them play in the Spurs Legends game recently. Berbatov, Keane, Lennon etc."

Who are your current favourite Spurs players and why?

Viddal: "I’m a big Wilson Odobert fan. He’s such an exciting player on the ball and with time, he has the potential to be a top, top player. Pedro Porro is fantastic... what a goal he scored against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg by the way! What I like about Odobert and Porro is they always put their best foot forward. I also have to mention (Heung-Min) Son, who has been an incredible player for the club."

What are your hopes for Spurs for the remainder of the season?

Viddal: "I’m speaking to you before the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt. Obviously, every Spurs fan will be hoping we get through because I think we have a decent chance of winning the competition if we do. We all know our league campaign has been disappointing. We also know that we’ve got the ability in the squad to be much higher up the league. Injuries have been a nightmare for us this season."

How are preparations for your fight against Cheavon Clark at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this coming Saturday going?

Viddal: "The preparations are going very well. There have been tough times too. There was a period of time where the preparations felt never ending. But here we are. To have this fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium… it couldn’t be any more perfect for me. And Cheavon Clark is an Arsenal fan funnily enough, so this is a proper north London derby! The stars have aligned for the fight to be where it is and I can’t wait."

And in terms of the main bill - Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn... what a fight that promises to be?

Viddal: "It’s going to be an incredible night of boxing. The brilliance of the way our stadium has been designed is that it really holds in the atmosphere. It’s going to be electric on Saturday with a fight of this magnitude."

The Opposition

Despite starting the season with a run of just one defeat in their opening five, Leicester now find themselves battling in the lower half of the table in the Under-18 Premier League.

Their impressive start to the season was brought to an abrupt halt with a 4-0 defeat at Brighton - a result which kickstarted a run of 10 games without a win in all competitions.

A 4-2 win against West Brom restored Adam Barradell's side to winning ways before they went on to record an impressive 6-3 victory away at West Ham United.

Back-to-back 4-3 wins over Brighton and Norwich at the start of March lifted them back into mid table and the Foxes are now looking to bridge the six-point gap to Reading in eighth. They come into this game winless in their last three (D1 L2), despite scoring eight times in those games.
