Arsenal Kids 2-0 ahead at TNL at half time.
If it stays like this then whoever wins out of us and Coventry go through with the young Gunners. A draw would see FGR progress.
Makes it tougher for us.

It finishes 3-1.
Do or die vs Coventry now.
The 2017 winners will surely be keen for a repeat run to Wembley.

A draw with a penalty shoot out win would see us comfortably through as well.

No pens in group games. Coventry currently on two points from two draws.

There are pens in the group. Each side gets a point for a draw and the team that wins the penalty shoot-out gets an extra point. Hence Sunderland having 5 points from two games, Leicester U21's having 3 points from 2 draws, etc.

Also Coventry have drawn one, lost one and have two points, not two draws.
