Arsenal’s under-21s will host the first north London derby of the season against Tottenham Hotspur at the Mangata Pay UK Stadium on Saturday, October 5, with a 1pm kick-off.

Arsenal, currently 5th in Premier League 2 with 12 points from four games, are aiming to bounce back after their first defeat of the season against Liverpool last week.

Tottenham, last season’s Premier League 2 champions, are struggling this season, and are 23rd in a 25-team league with just one win.

Fans can attend the match for free.

Arsenal’s under-18s will face Birmingham City in their second Premier League Cup group stage match on Saturday, October 5, at the Knighthead Training Ground, with a 12pm kick-off.

The young Gunners are aiming to secure a win after three consecutive 3-3 draws in the under-18 Premier League (v Brighton, Southampton, and West Brom). In their opening Premier League Cup match, Jack Wilshere‘s side won 5-3 against Liverpool.

Birmingham, last season’s national champions in the Professional Development League, currently sit third in their league but lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace in their Premier League Cup opener.
