Match preview: Arsenal U-18s v Southampton
We’ll be looking to progress to the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup for the third consecutive season when we host Southampton on Thursday evening.
THE STORY SO FAR
We reached the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup by beating a strong Cheltenham Town side on penalties.
Ben Cottrell had a great chance to take the lead early in the match but saw his effort from the edge of the box sail over the bar, while Hubert Graczyk was at his best to deny Callum Ebanks from close range.
With the scores deadlocked at full-time and after extra time, penalties were needed to separate the two sides.
