Chelsea Under-18s Aim for Third Straight Win Against Reading
Chelsea’s Under-18s are starting to find their stride.
A narrow defeat on the opening weekend might have rattled a lesser group. This one has bitten back. First came a ruthless 4-1 win away at Birmingham City in the league, a performance that carried both edge and assurance. Then, in midweek, they opened their Under-18 Premier League Cup campaign with a controlled 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Andrew Pennie and Heze Grimwade supplying the goals.
Now comes the next test, and it arrives on home turf.
Cobham stage set for Reading
Chelsea host Reading in the Under-18 Premier League at Cobham on Saturday 29 August, with kick-off at 11am (UK time). For an Academy side building early-season momentum, it is another chance to turn promise into points.
The setting is familiar, the stakes quietly significant. Back-to-back wins have injected confidence; a third would turn a response into a statement.
