Kick-off at the Sobha Realty Training Ground is scheduled for 10.30am (UK time).

Our academy side struck three times in the opening 17 minutes away at Aston Villa last week, continuing their fine form to sit fourth on 16 points.

A flash of ruthlessness saw Teshaun Murisa, Axel Donczew and Mylo Bernard wrap up the points early on, despite the West Midlands side pulling one back before the break.

THE OPPOSITION

The Bees are competing in the league for the first time this season after being awarded Category One status and have made a solid start to their debut campaign.

They have recorded four wins and four defeats in their opening eight games, with their attacking threat offset by goals conceded.

With 29 goals in their opening eight games, the west London side offer significant firepower, as shown in last weekend's 5-4 defeat to Fulham, but defensive frailties have them sat eighth on 11 points.

Our capital compatriots are also competing in the U18 Premier League Cup, but after two defeats to Burnley and Manchester City, they look set to bow out of Group D.

The U18 PL South clash will mark our first-ever meeting with Brentford at this level.
