Match preview: Ipswich v Arsenal U-21s

Our under-21s are set to kick off their 2020/21 season on Tuesday night when they face Ipswich Town in the Leasing.com Trophy.

THE STORY SO FAR

Following the outbreak of coronavirus and the cancellation of all academy fixtures in 2019/20, for many of our youngsters this will be their first taste of competitive football in more than six months.

James Olayinka remains the exception after helping Northampton Town seal promotion to League One back in June.

As for this season and the start of the Leasing.com Trophy, we’ve been drawn in Group J of the competition alongside Ipswich Town, Crawley Town and Gillingham.
