Tottenham, Man United and Liverpool among youngest teams in Premier League

Won't somebody think of the children?

They say you don’t win anything with kids, but Tottenham fans will be hoping that’s not true.

Spurs are the only club able to boast an average age of less than 25 in their starting line-ups this year, while West Brom are the only team to see their average age reach 29.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are the youngest team by almost a full year per player, with only Liverpool and Newcastle getting anywhere close to the North Londoners.

Manchester United, meanwhile, take their place as the fourth youngest team in the league thanks to the inclusion of players such as Anthony Martial and Memphis Depay.

Struggling Chelsea and high-flying Arsenal find themselves in the middle of the table, with Gunners’ players averaging out at just 17 days older than their cross-city rivals.

Unsurprisingly, Manchester City find themselves towards the top, with their average age of 28 years and 159 days good enough for the second oldest squad in the league.
