Under-18s' play-off fixtures announced

Manchester United will kick off the play-off phase of the Barclays Under-18 Premier League with an away clash at West Brom on Saturday.

The Reds qualified for the top group with a fourth-placed finish in the Northern division and have seven fixtures, four away and three at home, in a bid to be crowned nationwide champions.

Another Midlands outfit, Aston Villa, provide the opposition in the first home game of the mini-league with a trip to Middlesbrough, who topped United's table in impressive fashion, ending this series of games as it did the first part of the Academy season.
