Preview | U18s travel to Crystal Palace, the league leaders

West Ham United U18s vs. Crystal Palace U18s U18 Premier League South,

Saturday, March 8, 2025, 11 a.m. GMT, Crystal Palace Training Ground

 

When we travel to league-leading Crystal Palace in the U18 Premier League South on Saturday,

West Ham United U18s will be eager to build on their triumph against

Derby County in the Premier League Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

Last time out, we scored two goals in two minutes against the youthful Rams,

with Josh Ajala setting the tone for our rapid scoring spree. Ajala initiated and completed a

slick passing move with Emeka Adiele, securing our spot in the Premier League Cup final,

where we will take on Reading. Josh Landers then continued his excellent goal-scoring form to

increase our lead a minute later.

Lauris Coggin’s team will soon turn their focus to the Premier League South and travel

to south London to play rivals Crystal Palace.

With nine league games left, West Ham has already played 15 games.

They hope to move up the table with a strong showing and victory over the youthful Eagles.

An earlier meeting…
West Ham United lost 5-0 to a polished Palace team at Little Heath training field in the rematch in January 2025 after a difficult afternoon.

George King, Sebastian Williams, and Benjamin Casey all scored goals, while Chuks Okoli’s brace sent the young Eagles on their path to victory in east London.

The team led by Rob Quinn has risen to the top of the division and has only lost once since that match early in the new year.
