Albion U23s v Leicester City U23s, PL Cup Group Game, Checkatrade.com Stadium, 7pm tonight

[AZ Gull]

Albion U-23s play the fifth of their six Group E matches tonight when they host Leicester City at Crawley's Checkatrade.com Stadium, kick-off 7pm.

A win this evening guarantees Albion's progression to the next stage; even a draw will ensure they are virtually certain to advance.

Albion beat the Foxes in the away tie on January 4th through a Connor Tighe goal (after the original match in November was abandoned in the 64th minute following a serious injury to Leicester's Elliott Moore).

Team news: Tyler Hornby-Forbes makes his first start since November and Liam Rosenior and Richie Towell from the first-team squad both feature. There is no place in the squad for Harry Cardwell (although the U-23s have another fixture on Wednesday against Crowborough Athletic in the Parafix Sussex Senior Cup quarter-finals). Connor Tighe returns from injury to take a place on the bench and Ben Hall returns from serving a one-match suspension to also take a place on the bench:-

No Ulloa

The Hammond in the Leicester team is non other than ex Seagull, Dean Hammond. It's a shame that Ulloa is throwing a strop.

Have just tried watching but the feed is stuttery and keeps buffering... not ideal.

Goal - Bjordal, 1-0.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

1-0 Bjordal. Nice move

 

[BensGrandad]

Obviously the major hope is that Liam comes through unscathed but I will be interested to see how Tyler Hornby-Forbes does as he is a young full back who has played in the FL.. div 2 granted. I think that may be a problem position next season.

Trying to watch on player but typically it stopped jusr before the goal grrr
