Match preview: Arsenal U-18s v Brighton

We’ll be looking to progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup on Thursday night when we host Brighton & Hove Albion at Meadow Park.

THE STORY SO FAR

Our journey started away at Cheltenham, where we were held to a 0-0 draw over 120 minutes, before eventually winning 4-2 on penalties.

Sam Greenwood, Alfie Matthews, Matthew Dennis and Charlie Patino all scored from 12 yards, while Hubert Gracyzk produced an exceptional save to deny Charlie Stanton and send us through to the fourth round.

We then went on to defeat Southampton 1-0 at home, courtesy of a stunning solo goal from Dennis.
