Academy Preview – Crystal Palace
Saints Under-18s are in action this weekend as they host Crystal Palace at Staplewood. Kick off 11am.
Under-18 Manager Dave Puckett will be hoping his side show enough character to bounce back from last weekend's heavy defeat to Fulham, and replicate the early season form that has seen them beat Manchester United and Chelsea.
The game comes before the midweek FA Youth Cup tie away at Aldershot on Wednesday, so Saints will be hoping to go into that game on the back of a promising performance this weekend.
Puckett has just one injury concern ahead of the clash with striker Tony Garrod still sidelined with a hamstring injury. Centre-back Ryan Tafazolli remains on loan at Salisbury.
Saints Under-18s from: Dovey, Argent, Reeves, Harper, Keegan, Preen, Racine, Robinson, Martin, Nicholas, McLean, McNish, Foot, Isgrove, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Holder-Spooner.
