Adam Birchall’s under-18s face West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, March 17 (1pm UK), looking to get back to winning ways in the U18 Premier League South. <\/p>\n

We travel to the Baggies’ Palm Training Ground for what will be our 19th league game of the season, where we’ll be looking for our seventh win. <\/p>\n

After impressive wins over Birmingham City and defending league champions Aston Villa in February, our Gunners come into Tuesday’s contest off the back of three straight defeats in March, most recently a narrow 1-0 loss to Ipswich Town. <\/p>\n

the opposition<\/h3>\n

West Brom have enjoyed a productive season in the U18 Premier League South, winning nine of their 18 games. <\/p>\n

A three-match winning run has fired the Baggies up to fifth in the league table, with a game in hand on the Brighton side who sit just one point above them. <\/p>\n

Last time out, the West Midlands side scored three goals in the final 15 minutes to come from behind and beat local rivals Birmingham City 3-1. <\/p>\n

Harry French has been having a blistering season for Albion, scoring 10 goals in 15 appearances, one of which helped his side to a 3-2 victory against us at the Sobha Realty Training Centre in October.<\/p>\n
