Team News…
Mark Robson may opt to once again play a much younger starting XI, having done so in the last Premier League International Cup, against PSV.
The young Irons are playing their final match before the 2022 FIFA World Cup and, as such, the lead coach could wish to give more established players a last run out before the international break.
Opposition…
Feyenoord U21s play in the Beloften Eredivisie, having officially been disbanded up until 2018.
