Preview: Arsenal U-23s v Blackburn Rovers

We’ll look to emulate our impressive opening-day victory when we face Blackburn Rovers in the reverse fixture on Friday night.

THE STORY SO FAR

Folarin Balogun’s hat-trick of penalties secured all three points against Rovers on matchday one, and we’ve only lost once in the league since then.

Back-to-back victories against Tottenham and Southampton has revived our chances of lifting the title at the end of the season.

Trae Coyle scored his first goal of the campaign at the Lamex Stadium as we claimed north London bragging rights. Robbie Burton and Nathan Tormey were also on the scoresheet as we recorded a 3-1 victory.
