Eric Dier is expecting this year's Premier League Schools Tournament finals to be an exciting competition.

The Tottenham defender, along with teammate Nabil Bentaleb, conducted the draw at a Spurs soccer school at Haileybury College, Hertfordshire, ahead of the 10th running of the Premier League event which is set to be held at White Hart Lane on May 21.

Upon drawing Tottenham in Group C alongside London rivals West Ham United and Crystal Palace as well as Hull City and Aston Villa, Dier said it would be a great feeling for the youngsters to compete at a stadium such as 'The Lane' for the prestigious youth cup.

"I'm sure there will be some tough games in that group with the London derbies, it will be exciting for them. It's a good group," Dier told BBC's MOTD Kickabout programme.

"When you are young and you get to play in tournaments like this, where you play at White Hart Lane, it's really exciting."
