As a result of Arsenal’s opening fixtures against Swansea on Wednesday, the planned Premier League 2 game against Chelsea on Friday has been moved to Saturday at 14:00 BST, at Meadow Park.

Arsenal had a mixed group stage in the Premier League Cup last season.

Kevin Betsy mostly used the competition for his fringe players, particularly during the early games when he didn’t have much choice – due to international youth call-ups for much of his side.

As a result, Arsenal only had two points after three games, but they turned things around with two wins in the final three matches to qualify for the knockout stages as group runners-up.

Unfortunately, they were then eliminated at the first hurdle by Middlesbrough on penalties, with Omari Hutchinson missing the crucial spot-kick after scoring a penalty during the 90.

New u21 head coach Mehmet Ali will hope for a more successful campaign this time around.
