Stevens - We Have Proved We Can Go Head To Head With The Top Sides

Last updated : 09 February 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City Academy Boss Richard Stevens has said that the youth team can go head to head with Arsenal.

City have beaten Walsall, Crewe, Stoke and Charlton to reach the Fifth Round and speaking to Laura Hunter, Stevens said about tonight's game at the Ricoh Arena: “Arsenal are in the top half of the Cat 1 programme, they will play with lots of flair and we expect them to attack from the off. They will be expansive in their style of play and will have to concentrate for 90-minutes, defend quite deep and be compact to stop them playing. 

“Our boys have proven they can go head to head with top flight sides and Monday should be no different,”
