Jofra Archer representing Manchester United in ePremier League

5 May 2020

Jofra Archer will play in the second ePremier League Invitational tournament on Tuesday evening, representing his beloved Manchester United. 

Archer will face Newcastle United youngster, Rolando Aarons at 5pm, with the match shown live on SkySports and across the BBC. 

Premier League players and celebrity fans will represent the 20 Premier League clubs on EA SPORTS FIFA 20 from 5-9 May.

This week's ePremier League Invitational will follow the same format of the inaugural edition, which took place last week and was won by Wolverhampton Wanderers forward, Diogo Jota. 

The competition will kick off at 15:00 BST with a London derby as West Ham United fan and YouTube personality Spencer Owen takes on Tottenham Hotspur's Ryan Sessegnon.

Burnley and Arsenal are set to meet again, after Dwight McNeil eliminated musician and Gunners fan Josh Franceschi in the first tournament.

This time Charlie Taylor is representing the Clarets, while Top Boy actor Micheal Ward is playing for Arsenal, before Archer plays as United against Aarons and Newcastle.

In Day 1's final match, two England internationals will go head-to-head, as Leicester City's James Maddison faces AFC Bournemouth's Callum Wilson.

Wolves, this time represented by Morgan Gibbs-White, will start the defence of their title on Wednesday against Brighton & Hove Albion striker Aaron Connolly.
