Under-18s live stream preview: Big game but business as usual

Chelsea FC

According to Hassan Sulaiman, the coach for the under-18s team, we should treat our upcoming match against West Ham United like we would any other game, even though it has the potential to greatly influence the outcome of the title race. You'll be able to watch the match in real-time using the Chelsea App.

This weekend's forthcoming showdown between Chelsea and West Ham United is set to be a nail-biting clash, as both teams battle for the top spot in the Under-18 Premier League southern division. The match is scheduled to take place on Saturday 6 April at Cobham, and for all those who can't make it to the game in person, the event will be streamed live on the Official Chelsea App.

The Blues are currently ranked second in the table, trailing the Hammers by three points. However, they hold a superior goal difference and have three more games to play. If they secure a victory at home this Saturday, they will be able to take first place in the standings. This would put them in a favorable position to compete for the southern title as well as the chance to play the one-off play-off game against the northern winners to determine the national champions.

The coach of the team's players under 18, Hassan Sulaiman, wants to ensure that his team stays concentrated on performing optimally during their match. He's aware that they must disregard the possibility of how their outcome affects the championship's competition and the tension it might generate.

Sulaiman clarified that the game is not a decisive factor and they have not blown it out of proportion. They are still mainly focused on the developmental aspects such as handling pressure.

Certainly, it's impossible to ignore the reality that if we emerge victorious in the match, the boys will secure the top spot. There's a great deal at stake, and it's clear to everyone that if we triumph in our league, we'll also progress to the national final.

For the observers, it may seem like a spectacular event, but for us, it's just our regular business.

Sulaiman plans to continue with the winning strategy that has benefitted his team in recent weeks. They have been on a roll, winning four games in a row without conceding any goals, and he aims to keep up the pace, no matter who they are up against.

I've mentioned this numerous times already, but we have a uniform approach when it comes to playing games. The players have always shown eagerness to perform at a high level, but for us, this means guarding our area, and lately, they've achieved this successfully in the previous few games.

The number of times we've kept the field clean can be easily seen and signifies their dedication towards implementing the defensive drills they've been learning during practice. Nonetheless, what matters the most is the attitude to prevent the rival team from scoring any goals.

Furthermore, we've discussed our strategy for taking control of the game with the ball. Our aim is to have a stronghold on possession, ensuring that we make an impact in the critical area and rack up goals. Our team has achieved this in the past, and we hope to achieve the same in this upcoming match.

This game will have a consistent approach, in regards to how we want to play, and we believe that if we can execute that strategy during the game, we will always come out with a positive outcome. This is our mindset.

This shows that the winner of the southern title won't be determined this weekend, no matter what the outcome is. The Blues' Under-18 team has a consecutive streak of eight league games left to play for this season, and Sulaiman is hoping for a solid finish for the team in every game.

He said that this part of the season is very thrilling because there is a lot at stake. People often call this phase the business end of the season, and we are still very much a part of it.

We must ensure that we keep fighting and striving till the end in the league. Moreover, we have the final of the Under-17 Premier League Cup scheduled for the upcoming week and a few of our boys will be participating in it once again.

Moreover, there are some players in our team who could potentially earn a spot on the roster for the European Under-17 Championship. For instance, Ollie Harrison and Shumaira Mhueka might be selected to represent England, while Genesis Antwi has a chance to play for Sweden.

There is still much at stake, and we are all thrilled about it. This is precisely what we desire from our programme. We are satisfied with our current position but must continue to progress. Our ultimate goal is to finish on a high note.
