U18s head for Norwich

West Ham United U18s will be in midweek FA Premier Academy League action when they head for Norwich City on Wednesday afternoon.

The Hammers travel to Norfolk having won each of their previous two league matches at Little Heath, defeating Bristol City 4-0 before overcoming Charlton Athletic 2-1 on Saturday.

Those victories lifted Academy Director Tony Carr's side up to fourth in the Group A table, six points behind leaders Southampton with four matches remaining.

While the title may be beyond his players, Carr is keen to end the season on a high: "We have got four games left plus a couple of friendly matches and all I want is for them to keep playing well and winning games."

Meanwhile, Sebastian Lletget and his United States team-mates will go for World Cup glory on Wednesday evening.

West Ham United Academy midfielder Lletget and his international colleagues take on hosts Guatemala in the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF U20 Championship, with the winner guaranteed a place at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Colombia later this year.

The 18-year-old has played an influential role in the Americans' progress so far, recording an assist in each of his country's Group B victories over Suriname (4-0) and Panama (2-0).

Lletget and his colleagues will face Guatemala in the last-eight in Guatemala City, with head coach Thomas Rongen confident that the US can defeat their hosts and qualify for the semi-finals.

"The team knows that, individually and collectively we have to play better in that third game and we will. I'm very confident of that. We feel good where we are, great about what we've accomplished and I feel good that we haven't given up any goals."

Costa Rica face Cuba, Mexico take on Canada and Honduras tackle Panama in the other quarter-finals. The semi-finals will take place on Friday 8 April, with the final and third-placed match scheduled for Sunday 10 April.
