U-23s: West Ham v Arsenal – The Brief

Our under-23s face West Ham United at London Stadium on Friday night, as they hope to record their first win of the season.

THE STORY SO FAR

We come into this fixture off the back of a 1-1 draw with an experienced Brighton & Hove Albion side, who fielded a number of first-team squad members.

Freddie Ljungberg’s side looked set to leave Emirates Stadium with all three points after Reiss Nelson broke the deadlock in the 88th minute, but deep into stoppage time substitute Aaron Connolly equalised.

Under-23s: Brighton (h) - Highlights

Prior to that, we fired five goals past Manchester City on the opening day of the season - with Emile Smith Rowe recording a brace - but the home side scored six as we finished an entertaining game empty handed.
