Aston Villa U18s Head Coach David Hughes says he and his players can't wait for the campaign ahead.
The Young Lions pushed Arsenal hard at the weekend, going down 4-2 at the Gunners in their opening U18 Premier League fixture of 2018/19.
And after an intensive pre-season with his squad, Hughes is now relishing seeing his side develop again over the next nine months.
