Despite a much-improved second 45, a youthful Palace U18s side fall to a 4-1 defeat to Southampton U18s.

Palace emerge with renewed intent, with Seb Bonsu-Amako winning possession and releasing Donte Martin down the left, but the forward's effort is superbly saved by the diving ‘keeper.

Three goals in three minutes have stunned Palace, leaving the Young Eagles with a mountain to climb. The next goal is crucial - COME ON, YOU PALACE!

Southampton are currently in the ascendancy, with Palace weathering a succession of shots and crosses, but the Eagles look dangerous on the counter.

Welcome back to the Crystal Palace Academy. We’re a couple of hours away from this morning’s U18 Premier League clash with Southampton (KO: 11:00 BST). Can the Young Eagles make it two wins from two?

The Young Eagles are looking to make it back-to-back wins in the new U18 Premier League South campaign after beating West Ham United 3-1 last week. AJ Greaves bagged a brace, before Toby Williams capped the win with a stunning halfway-line strike!

It’s a largely unchanged XI, but injuries to Alfie Mulvenna and Nat Kalembo mean Kwasi Baah and 14-year-old Isaac Ogunrinde make their U18s debuts. Three U16s are also named on the bench.

14-year-old Isaac Ogunrinde makes his U18s debut this morning. The defender has already played up for England U15s aged 13, having joined Palace from Cray Valley three years ago.

Ajean-Ray Greaves wears the armband again this morning after his match-winning brace at West Ham last weekend.

Remember, you can watch every minute of this morning’s U18 Premier League clash with Southampton LIVE on Palace TV+ from 11:00 BST!
