Town’s youngsters are in U18 Premier League Cup action against Stoke City at Playford Road this morning (KO 11am).

Mark Robinson and Jimmy Smith’s side impressively beat Arsenal 3-1 away in the league at the weekend, summer signing Chris Atherton (above) netting a hat-trick in only his second appearance since joining from Chelsea.

Town and the Potters are joined by Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion in the group. They face one another on Merseyside this morning.
