Under-18s' FA Youth Cup Tie To Be Streamed Live On YouTube

Meanwhile, Everton Under-18s assistant manager Keith Southern has paid tribute to the professionalism and maturity displayed by the squad during a “hugely challenging” period.

Southern explained how day-to-day life at the Club's Academy has altered significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic – but says Everton's emerging talents' unstinting dedication and hunger to learn makes them a joy to work with.

Sixth-placed Everton are in U18 Premier League action on Saturday when Middlesbrough visit USM Finch Farm (11am GMT).


Southern is confident Everton can deliver a strong finish to the campaign – and outlined why he believes his players should be “very proud” of their efforts so far this term.

“They are a credit to themselves,” he told evertonfc.com.

“They take on board everything we [the coaching staff] try to do. They are always looking to improve and learn. 

“The challenges of COVID have not been easy for the lads. 

“For the first-year scholars, they only left school last May or June. They were delayed in starting their scholarship and are on a reduced programme because of the restrictions around the training group. 

“They’ve had all these obstacles to overcome and they have done so. They should be very proud of themselves.  

“Paul [Tait] and I relish coming in every day. We come in with energy and enthusiasm – and the players give us that back and more. 

“They are a really good group to work with and we’re looking forward to the remaining games of the season.”
