Under-18s: Reading v Palace
Reading currently sit 13th in the U18 Premier League South, just three points above bottom-placed Ipswich Town. The Royals have played 18 matches so far but still hold two games in hand over Birmingham City, who have completed the full 20.
Results have been difficult to come by since the turn of the year, with Reading winning just once in their last seven league fixtures – a victory over West Bromwich Albion – alongside four defeats and two draws.
Last season, Reading’s Under-18s finished eighth out of 13 teams with 32 points, recording nine wins, five draws and 10 defeats.
While that represented steady progress, the club have not finished higher than 10th in the U18 Premier League South since 2017. Harrison Gilkes’ side also narrowly missed out in last year’s Premier League Cup final.

Under-21s: Palace v Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers Under-21s currently sit 17th in Premier League 2 on 21 points, level with Middlesbrough and Everton but outside the top 16 places required to qualify for the end-of-season play-offs.
Most recently, Wolves suffered a heavy defeat to Liverpool at the LFC Academy on Sunday afternoon, with the hosts scoring five times inside the opening 30 minutes through Clae Ewing, Calvin Ramsay, Kieran Morrison and Will Wright, alongside an own goal from Saheed Olagunju.
The start of 2026 has proved challenging for Wolves, who have lost three of their four league matches since the turn of the year, with their only victory coming against Reading at the beginning of March.
