Academy Preview: Palace kick off FA Youth Cup campaign

Crystal Palace Under-18s will take on Fleetwood Town in the Third round of the FA Youth Cup on Friday evening.

The Eagles will be favourites for the tie having made an impressive start to the season, with the game being broadcast live on Fleetwood’s official YouTube channel at 19:00 GMT.

Paddy McCarthy's side sit fourth in the U18 Premier League South, just four points off top of the table and with a game in hand on their closest rivals. They’ve already recorded imposing victories over Chelsea and West Ham United early in the campaign, and will look to carry their league form into their first FA Youth Cup clash of the season.
