The teenage Saints have been representing Austria, Wales and Norway, as well as various age groups in the Republic of Ireland set-up, but have returned to club football intent on extending their unbeaten run in the Under-18 Premier League.
“I think it is always nice for them as individuals to get recognition from their countries,” Butterfield commented ahead of tomorrow’s trip to London Colney. “It it something we promote as a club.”
"We want the boys to test themselves against good opposition, it will only improve their development. We’re pleased for the ones who got selected, but they are back now and focus switches to the Arsenal game.
“Some had the weekend off to recharge the batteries, and are now keen to prolong our momentum.”
Perhaps unnerving to some, ex-Saints defender Butterfield is convinced that his young charges will relish the challenge of facing one of the country’s most renowned academies, after convincingly beating Manchester City last month.
Talking about his squad’s preparation in the run-up to the fixture, Butterfield added: "Against the better teams in our league, on reputation, you rise to the challenge.
"Perhaps it brings more of a focus to the lads, in the lead up to the game. Particularly, the result against Man City has given everyone the belief that we can compete against the best academy teams.
“We’ve watched Arsenal’s recent games, and know what they’re capable of. We’ll show them as much respect as necessary, but equally try to impose our game on them. The boys are in a confident mood.”

Guess what the average ticket price in the Premier League is this season?
Show/hide article…
The average ticket price across the Premier League this season is £32.
And more than half of all fans are paying less than £30 per match, according to the league’s second annual pricing survey.
Based on data from each club and compiled with help from professional services company EY, the study is the most comprehensive analysis of the actual cost of attending games.
Thanks to early-bird offers and loyalty discounts, one in three season tickets are sold below full price, saving fans a total of £10million across the season.
Last season, the league introduced a three-year cap on away ticket prices of £30 and this season’s average away ticket will be £26.
The survey does not include a club-by-club breakdown of costs but the fall in the average cost of an away ticket is partly down to Arsenal’s decision to price all away tickets at £26 - a positive step for a club often associated with high prices.
In a statement, Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore said: "The loyal and passionate support of attending fans is hugely appreciated by clubs, their managers and players, and the Premier League.
"This research shows the excellent value clubs are offering across the league and the impressive commitment of their fans.
“I hope it will challenge commonly held perceptions about the cost of attending Premier League football and encourage even more people to consider going to a match.”
The study includes tickets sold in all parts of Premier League grounds, except hospitality areas, and the per-match cost of season tickets is found by dividing its price by the number of games it covers.
As encouraging as the headline figures are, some critics will still point out these prices are higher than they are abroad and suggest a league which earns so much from broadcasting can afford to be more generous to those fans who create the atmosphere at games.
A counter argument, however, would be that Premier League grounds are nearly full each weekend, the entertainment is world-class and this study shows there are tickets available at a range of prices.
In fact, only six per cent of all tickets cost more than £60 a game, while more than a quarter cost less than £20.
Among the survey’s other findings are the fact that total capacity across the league is now 800,000 seats, a new record, and season ticket-holders account for nearly three quarters of fans at games.

Liverpool vs Manchester United betting tips and odds
Show/hide article…
Jurgen Klopp’s problem to ponder over the international break was how to plug a leaky defence and as the Premier League returns on Saturday afternoon he’s got a hole to fill at the other end – a big Sadio Mane-shaped one.
Injury to Mane on Senegal duty is terrible timing for Klopp, robbing him of his star attacker ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Manchester United at lunchtime on Saturday.
United were also dealt a couple of blows over the past two weeks – Marouane Fellaini joined fellow midfielder Paul Pogba on the injury list and Jose Mourinho was annoyed when Romelu Lukaku was risked for Belgium against Cyprus. He was only given 24 minutes and managed to get on the scoresheet - again - but Mourinho was still bristling.
Mane’s absence should cheer him up though as Liverpool’s loss is greater than United’s. With Mane in the side Liverpool’s win percentage is 60.5 and they score 2.3 goals a game. That drops to 1.3 per game and a 42.9% win rate without him.
Klopp does have Philippe Coutinho to call on but he’ll have to be in the type of form that Barcelona will break the bank for to unlock a United defence with more Premier League clean sheets - 17 - than any other side in 2017. In contrast, only Crystal Palace and West Ham have let in more than the 12 league goals Klopp’s side have conceded this season.
Last season Mourinho strangled a point out of this fixture but with the tools he has at his disposal one year on another 0-0 draw is unlikely. Bookies can’t split them and both sides are 9/5 at best with the draw 5/2 but the fence is no place to sit at Anfield. United just get the nod and a 2-1 win is 10/1 while you can get 14/1 it finishes 2-0 in favour of the visitors.
In the goalscorer markets, Mohamed Salah is the best bet if you’re backing a Liverpool player - 13/2 for the opener and 12/5 at any time - but all eyes will be on Lukaku.
No player has scored eight goals in their first eight games for the club and he’ll be the first if he hits the target on Merseyside. He’s 31/21 at any time and 4/1 for the opener while Marcus Rashford, who must be due one, is 15/2 for the first goal and 27/10 at any time. In-form Henrikh Mkhitaryan is 9/1 to break the deadlock and 10/3 to give you a run for your money and score at any time.
Back along the M62 in Manchester, table-topping City (1/6 at home to Stoke) have won their last two home league games 5-0 and a third on the spin is 16/1. With Sergio Aguero likely to miss out, the 13/2 available for 3-0 appeals more. City are odds-on (no better than 10/11) to win without conceding having allowed their opponents a league-low 45 shots from seven games and just 25 from open play. Raheem Sterling, with five in his last five, is worth a nibble for the first goal. He’s 11/2.
Like Liverpool, Chelsea’s main goal threat also looks set to sit out with a hamstring injury this weekend but the good news for them is it’s only Crystal Palace they’re up against while Alvaro Morata recovers. The Eagles’ rotten run doesn’t look like ending any time soon – they’re 9/1 to beat Chelsea while Antonio Conte’s side are 2/5 and 5/4 to win without conceding.
Across London, Tottenham have a fourth attempt at winning a league game at Wembley when Bournemouth arrive and Harry Kane will look to finally bag at top-flight goal at the national stadium. From Malta to Merseyside he’s been banging them in… but not in Premier League games under the arch.
Right now (15 goals in his last 10 games for club and country) he’s too hot not to back and despite their struggles at their temporary home Spurs are no better than 2/9 to take the points. For a better return back them at 7/4 to win with both teams scoring while Kane is 13/8 to score two or more.
Swansea are also seeking a first home win of the season and they’re worth backing against a Huddersfield side who are winless in five after an impressive start to Premier League life. The Swans are 6/5 for the points and 3/1 to win with under 2.5 total goals in the game.
Arsenal won four in a row before the break and should carry on where they left off by taking the points at Watford in the late kick off while Burnley against West Ham has the look of a draw.
Sunday’s action is all on the south coast as Southampton host Newcastle and Brighton entertain Everton while Monday night sees Leicester take on West Brom.
For this week’s anytime scorer treble, take Sterling with fit-again Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, who missed the England games, and Eden Hazard, who could play further forward in the absence of Chelsea striker Morata, for a return of 12/1. Or how about a double-double? Hazard and Kane both to score two or more returns 22/1 with Paddy Power.
Russia here we come
England stumbled over the line to little fanfare as they stamped their ticket to the World Cup and there’s hardly great expectations about much to cheer about once they get there. You can 24/1 they end however many years of hurt it is now by lifting the trophy while defending champions Germany head the betting at 11/2. France are 6/1, Brazil and Spain are 8/1 and are Argentina 9/1 after sneaking in late. Click HERE for the full list.
