Chelsea Begin FA Youth Cup Defence Tonight

FA Youth Cup holders Chelsea begin the defence of their title at the EBB Stadium tonight, with a third round tie against Huddersfield Town.

The Blues, who have won the FA Youth Cup for the past two seasons and reached the Final for the past four, also beat The Terriers last season, recording a 6-1 victory in the fourth round before going on to beat Manchester City 5-2 on aggregate in the two-legged Final.

Kick-off is 7.05pm. Admission is £3 for adults and £1 for concessions, with the match also broadcast live on Chelsea TV.
