Under-18s To Kick Off Season Against Champions

Everton Under-18s will kick off their 2019/20 U18 Premier League (North) campaign with a clash against reigning champions Derby County at USM Finch Farm on Saturday 10 August.

The young Blues, who finished third last season, will take on a Rams side who finished top of the Northern section in 2018/19 before beating Southern division winners Arsenal in a play-off to be crowned national champions.

Another home clash follows for Everton as Paul Tait's side host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday 24 August, before the Toffees travel to Manchester City one week later.

The first Merseyside derby for the Under-18s takes place at USM Finch Farm on Saturday 5 October, with the return clash at Liverpool's Academy on Saturday 14 March.

Everton round off the season with an away contest at Newcastle United on Saturday 25 April.
