TiffToff88 Posted 6 September 2016 Posted 6 September 2016 They're going to have a very busy season! If my understanding is correct, the Under 23's will compete in the following: Premier League International Cup, u23 Premier League cup, EFL Trophy, Premier League 2 AND the UEFA youth league. i wonder if they will prioritise any of them?
