The Checkatrade Trophy

[cleavers]

Poveda was training with the first team today

I presume not eligible tonight ?

It’s an U18s game, and he turns 19 in a month, so yeah

Would suggest he'll be involved in the LC game then, though anyone playing tonight could be, the checkatrade could be anything, but its good experience in both competetions, whichever they play in, though most would prefer a semi final in a senior competition I guess.

I thought the age was under 18 at the start of the season you are eligible for the whole seaaon. Certainly is for the FA Youth Cup

This is the FA Youth Cup. My mistake

Pep said he would save a couple for the Burton game. Garcia, Nmecha and Poveda/Matondo(if fit) would be my guess. Maybe a fullback

Reminds me of Micah in the first team squad can't remember who against when he would have been better employed at Anfield in the youth cup final first leg.

Weat Ham away in a meaningless end if season 0-0 draw.
Never forgave Pearce for that - cost us the youth cup

Is this game being televised anywhere?

Sunderland will most likely stream it on their webpage. You`ll probably have to pay £10 for it though

Thanks mate. Will have a scout around tomorrow, but not spending £10.
