Arsenal Under-23s were last in action against Chelsea on September 23, with a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge seeing Steve Gatting’s side clock up their second win of the season.


With Southampton visiting Meadow Park on Friday, the Gunners now have an opportunity to build on that result – and Sheaf has urged his team-mates to take it.

“We’ve had the international break now, but we finished on a high with the win against Chelsea,” Sheaf told Arsenal.com. “We started off slowly in that game but I think overall it was a good performance. It was obviously a positive result and we’re looking to continue that run.

We’ve got two wins now but form is definitely important, we need to string results together and that will help us to build a bit of momentum."
