The FA Youth Cup

Arsenal v Spurs a potential FA Youth Cup fourth round tie

Friday 07 Dec 2018
Arsenal finished runners-up to Chelsea in last season's FA Youth Cup

A potential north London derby is in the offing after the draw was made for the fourth round of The FA Youth Cup.

If Arsenal defeat Northampton Town in round three and Spurs get past Millwall, two of the capital’s giants will go head-to-head in the last 32.

With so many third round ties still to be decided, there are only two definite fixtures in the fourth round, with Crystal Palace hosting Bolton Wanderers and Ipswich Town travelling to Gillingham.

Chelsea have dominated The FA Youth Cup in recent seasons, winning the last five editions.

All fourth round ties must be played by Saturday 19 January 2019.

Fourth round draw:

1 Sheffield Wednesday or Stoke City v Everton
2 Gillingham v Ipswich Town
3 Derby County v Middlesbrough or Sheffield United
4 Hull City v Wolverhampton Wanderers or Wigan Athletic
5 Burnley or Oxford United v AFC Bournemouth or Mansfield Town
6 Leicester City or Fulham v Bristol City or Crewe Alexandra
7 Arsenal or Northampton Town v Millwall or Tottenham Hotspur
8 Crystal Palace v Bolton Wanderers
9 West Bromwich Albion or Lincoln City v Queens Park Rangers
10 Manchester United or Chelsea v Brighton & Hove Albion
11 Preston North End v Port Vale or Norwich City
12 Liverpool or Portsmouth v Accrington Stanley or Leeds United
