From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arsenal Reserves are the reserve team of Arsenal Football Club. They have been members of the FA Premier Reserve League Southern Division since its foundation in 1999. They have never won the competition, although they finished as runners-up in 2001-02. They play their home games at Underhill Stadium, which is also the home of Barnet FC. The team mainly consists of Under-21 players at the club, although senior players occasionally play in the reserve side, for instance when they are recovering from injury.
The reserves' head coach is Neil Banfield, who picks and manages the side, with Arsenal's head of youth development Liam Brady, and his assistant David Court, overseeing the development of the squad in general.
