Our under-18s travel to Colchester United in the quarter-final of the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday night. Read on for our match preview.
THE STORY SO FAR
It’s certainly been an encouraging season for our under-18s - but they go into their FA Youth Cup quarter-final at Colchester United having suffered their first defeat in 14 matches last time out.
Kwame Ampadu’s side had gone four months without losing before being beaten 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final of the Premier League Cup a fortnight ago. And with Saturday’s league game at Southampton having been postponed due to adverse weather conditions, Tuesday’s fixture will give them their first opportunity to get back on track.
