The Daily Hilario: Chelsea U18 vs. Sheffield Wednesday U18, FA Youth Cup and other action from down under

Welcome to the Matic-free zone. We've got cookies, coffee, Australian Open, and whatever else your little heart might desire.

We also have a Chelsea U18 FA Youth Cup, fourth round match to talk about. After making quick work of third round opponents Dartford a few weeks ago (via a hat-trick by Dominic Solanke and a bonus goal from Fankaty Dabo), we now get to take on Sheffield Wednesday. Kick-off is at 19.05 GMT at Aldershot. The match will be live on Chelsea TV, so follow along with the rest of us.
