The Blues have started the year in good form, winning four of our five matches in 2025 so far, most recently a 3-1 victory away Leicester City in the Under-18 Premier League on Saturday.

That run includes the big 7-1 thrashing of non-league Merstham which booked our place in this stage of the FA Youth Cup, having previously also won at Leicester in the third round of this competition, when we came back from two goals down to progress thanks to Kobe Barbour's 87th-minute winner.

Next up is a trip to take on Manchester United with a spot in the quarter-finals up for grabs. Here is how you can follow all the action live as we continue our campaign in academy football's most prestigious competition.
