U18 Premier League Cup
Live on MUTV

Three weeks later and we meet again, this time in the last group game of the U18 Premier League Cup. A repeat of that 8-0 away win would be nice, and most likely (99.9%) enough for us to advance to the quarters.

Group B

Leeds 2 +5 6
United 2 0 3
Spurs 2 -1 3
Leicester 2 -4 0

Looking at the other groups and their second placed teams, it's very likely that only the group winner goes through here.

It's pretty simple really. We need to beat Leeds by three goals or more to go past them. We also need an equal or a better result than Spurs (vs Leicester) to stay above them. Fail to do either of those and we're out.

Realistically if we do our job properly we shouldn't have to worry about Spurs. This team is more than capable of scoring goals. We've scored three or more goals in 10/13 games. In those three matches we scored two each time. Eight clean sheets too in 13 games.
