Last updated 2 May 2006
The Premier League have reorganised the youth academy league set up this season,
replacing the 2 separate under-19 & under-17 leagues with a single nationwide under-18 youth league, though a rule change means that 3 over-age players can be used in each team. Given that the reserve squad is made up of mainly under-20 year olds, Arsenal seem unlikely to take advantate of this rule though. To quote Liam Brady, "for Arsenal I don't see many changes. Last year we played mainly U18s in the U19 team, and schoolboys in the U17s, so it will be similar this year."
Match reports, where available, are linked to from the dates in the
fixture/results list below. Arsenal's score first.

U18 Table
The table below is deduced from Arsenal's fixture list.
It's assumed that the new U18 league will take a similar format to last season,
ie there will be four 9 or 10 team regional conferences - Arsenal in one of the
southern leagues again, same as last season
To be confirmed.
NB May be incomplete

There is also a parallel series of under-16 fixtures, in which presumably only schoolboys participate, though there is no corresponding league table or national competition as for the U18s. Arsenal's fixture list is similar to the U18s and shows games against most other southern region clubs.
NB Results are difficult to obtain, so unlikely to be updated frequently.
