Beginning their Premier League Cup campaign, Norwich City Under-18s host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Lotus Training Centre this Saturday (12pm KO).
It’s the second fixture of a double-header against Brighton this weekend, following the league clash with the Seagulls at the Amex Elite Football Performance Centre last week.
The result is one City will be hoping to avoid however, suffering a 3-1 loss on the south coast in the U18 Premier League.
Kicking off the start of their Premier League Cup group stage, it’s a fresh start for the Canaries against Brighton as they hope to avenge their recent defeat.
Brighton will be confident heading into this fixture, having won two, drawn one and lost one of their league games so far this season.
Continuing their impressive record, the Seagulls have scored in all but one of their games so far, only stopped by Leicester City.
Meanwhile, it’s been a tough season so far for the young Canaries. After four defeats from four in the league, City are still looking for their first win of the campaign.
