U21s to play in PL International Cup

Tottenham Hotspur will play in this season’s edition of the Premier League International Cup.

Ugo Ehiogu’s side – who have been placed in Group B – are one of eight Premier League teams to announce their entry into the competition, which will see some of Europe’s best youth teams face off against each other.

Everton will be the young Spurs first opponent at Goodison Park on August 31, before ‘home’ fixtures at Stevenage FC against Schalke 04 and FC Porto on November 3 and December 23 respectively.

The top two teams from each group will advance to the Quarter-Finals, with all ties from then on being competed over just one leg.

Manchester City won the inaugural edition of the competition last season and are amongst the English teams that will participate again this year, along with Chelsea and Liverpool.

All eight international teams that featured last year are back again this season, with Celtic, Benfica and PSV Eindhoven amongst them.

All matches in the tournament will be played in England, with those involving two internationals teams taking place at Wycombe’s Adams Park.
