Chelsea Under-18s' FA Youth Cup campaign begins in the third round with an away trip to face Leicester City on Friday evening and you can watch the match live for free on the official Chelsea website and app.

All Premier League and Championship clubs enter the FA Youth Cup at this stage and the Blues will face fellow top-flight opposition in our first match of the competition.

We also travelled away to Leicester in the third round last season, when goals by Donnell McNeilly, Michael Golding and Shumaira Mheuka gave us a 3-1 win. We were eventually eliminated in a penalty shootout at Millwall in the quarter-finals, after further away wins at Everton and Crystal Palace.

Here is how you can follow all the Blues action live this season in academy football's most prestigious competition.
