The FA Youth Cup (a.k.a. the Chelsea Youth Cup) is back and the Blues will be looking to not only defend their title form last season, but to win it for the fourth time in six seasons. As the official website's preview points out (part 1, part 2), that's the most successful run since the famous Busby Babes of the 1950s.
This year's campaign begins at Elland Road against one-time rivals Leeds United (boo!). As usual, the Chelsea side -- now managed by Joe Edwards after Adi Viveash made the step up to under-21 level over the summer -- will feature several familar faces (Dom Solanke, Jeremie Boga, Charly Junior Musonda, Ola Aina, Charlie Colkett, etc) and a whole host of new ones (Tammy Abraham, Mukhtar Ali, etc). It'll be exciting to once again get to know a new generation of promising talent.
Kick-off's at 7:05pm local time, and will be live on Chelsea TV. This is where your subscription fee starts paying off.
