While Arsenal's first team have been making headlines with a run of 18 games unbeaten in the Premier League, the youth team have arguably been even more impressive creating a run of their own which has seen them win nine league games in a row.
The latest 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace saw the young Gunners stretch their winning run to 10 games in all competitions and their unbeaten run to 13.
The under-18's take on Tottenham tonight in a league game before their crucial second leg of the FA Youth Cup next Wednesday at the Emirates against Manchester City, with the Gunners winning the first leg 2-1 in Manchester.
Steve Bould's side are sitting comfortably at the top of their league with 63 points out of a possible 75. They stretched their lead over second place Crystal Palace to 23 points and in the process qualified for the end of season playoffs against another academy league winner.
With the Gunners in blistering form, a first leg advantage and an Emirates crowd behind them, it would be difficult to bet against them making it into the FA Youth Cup final next Wednesday
