The wait is over! After a five-week absence, our U21 stars are back in action at Meadow Park, ready to take on Aston Villa in the Premier League 2 on Monday, April 15th, at 7 PM.
Currently sitting comfortably in fifth place with 32 points from 17 games, the young Gunners are hot on the heels of fourth-placed Chelsea (just on goal difference, with a game in hand).
Our last outing saw a dramatic 2-2 draw against Stoke City. Amario Cozier-Duberry converted a penalty to put us ahead, but Stoke roared back with two quick goals from Dara McGuinness. However, Ethan Nwaneri silenced the home crowd with a stunning curled effort, securing a valuable point for Arsenal.
Can the young Gunners maintain their momentum and secure another crucial victory at home? Don't miss this exciting Premier League 2 clash!
Aston Villa U21 come into this match facing an uphill battle. Currently languishing in 19th place with only 19 points from 16 games, they're in a rough patch, having lost three of their last four fixtures. Their most recent defeat was a resounding 4-0 loss to Chelsea.
Despite the team's struggles, there are individual bright spots to watch. Omari Kellyman is a name to remember. He's the joint top scorer in the league with a remarkable seven goals in just 11 games. This young forward even has experience with the senior team, having notched an assist in Villa's 3-0 UEFA Conference League victory over Hibernian earlier this season.
Another player to keep an eye on is Kobei Moore. He's been a consistent threat for Villa, contributing seven goals and three assists in 14 league appearances. While the team might be struggling overall, these two attackers possess the talent to cause problems for the Arsenal defense.
Will Aston Villa U21 pull off an upset against the high-flying Gunners? Tune in on Monday to find out!
