After the disappointment of missing the 3rd round defeat of Sunderland last week, due to late changes in kick-off time and venue, I really am looking forward to tonight's 4th round encounter with the Youth of Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Kick off is at 7pm and there will be LIVE updates on the message board below.
The FA Youth Cup holders Chelsea, won the tie at Sunderland with two 2nd half goals from Nathanial Chabolah and George Saville, both expected to start tonight.
Definitely playing is Danny Mills-Pappoe who will be skippering the side and Josh McEachran, who, received the loudest cheer at Stamford Bridge for a youngster in a very long time when he came on at the weekend in the 2-0 defeat of Blackburn Rovers.
Mills-Pappoe who missed the glory of lifting the FA Youth Cup last season through injury, said "I can't explain how I felt, how annoyed I was, it's too much. I was literally crying. It was hard, I was so down, Dermot Drummy had to talk to me to keep me going.
"I felt like I was letting the team down, helping them get there and then not playing in the final, but Rohan Ince was there and could play. I believed in him but everyone has their qualities and I couldn't help the team with mine."
17 years old - a man's head on a boy's shoulders and a potential Chelsea leader.
COME ON CHELSEA

Unfortunate beginning but the lads are pulling it back.
Clifford doing well and Josh with some nice touches.

their main danger seems to be Anike...but we are dominating with plenty of chances - trouble is, no goals and there's nothing to show for it.

At the Matthew Harding End. Gooners go to sleep. Lalkovic has 20 yards to catch up on a lose ball, and catch it he does. Beats two defenders and the keeper

Well played indeed - although terrible finishing - should have been much more.
Always nice to do the Woolwich!
