Chelsea were beaten in their FA Youth Cup 3rd round tie by United on Monday - the Blues first defeat in the competition since the 2013 final. Albion U-18s will travel to face Man United in the 4th round.

Albion's reward for this hard-earned win.....is a trip to either Manchester United or Chelsea in the 4th round:- The United/Chelsea 3rd round tie is played on Monday December 17th.

Actually, I have just found the competition rules - RULES OF THE FA YOUTH CHALLENGE CUP COMPETITION (“the Competition”) Perhaps West Ham don't even have permission to stage U-18 matches at the London Stadium? They are only tenants, aren't they?

It isn't knowledge, but as all home ties in the Amex era have been staged at the stadium, I would certainly hope that they will continue to be. Edit: I'm not sure if there is actually a competition rule that matches be staged at the first team's stadium, but they usually are. Albion have played...

I don't understand. Any FA Youth Cup home match WILL be staged at the Amex (at least, they always have been). My point was, the public can't just rock up at the training ground to watch a regular U-18s game (which is what you suggested in post #38).

As I understand it, Albion (and possibly some or all other clubs) do not allow members of the public at the training ground to watch U-18 matches. The only exception would be any FA Youth Cup matches staged at the Amex.

32 teams, 16 ties in the 4th round.

According to this tweet, it is tomorrow. I have no idea if that is true or not. 1070686801260617729

Six minutes of highlights on the West Ham website - Highlights: West Ham United U18s v Brighton & Hove Albion U18s

Not sure. I'm hoping that Albion get a home draw that will be hosted at the Amex and shown live. Home times at the Amex had been, until last season, but as the U-23s are now back being screened hopefully an FA Youth Cup tie will be too.

Yes!!! Albion win 5-4 on penalties! Goalkeeper Roco Rees saved two in the shoot-out. Ted Jenks put his penalty miss in extra-time behind him to score in the shoot-out. They conceded after 6 minutes and sounds like they were under the cosh for the first half-hour, but really battled and emerged...

Going to penalties.....

1-1 at full-time. Now into extra-time.

It was Leonard booked on 68.

Crap - 1-0 West Ham

There is a live blog on the West Ham United website - Live Blog: West Ham United U18s v Brighton & HA U18s

There is still extra-time, but no replays. Albion lost on penalties to Stoke in 2016-17 and Forest in 2015-16.

1069660046265593861 Ryan Longman captains the side. New signing Kasper Lopata partners Haydon Roberts in the centre at the back. Peter Gwargis brings some U-23s experience to the side. U-16 Matt Everitt adds a potential goal-scoring threat to the midfield. Danny Cashman will be hoping to add to...
