For the third time in five years Chelsea enter the FA Youth Cup looking to defend their title. In the intermittent years between successes they’ve reached the Semi Final and Final respectively before falling to Manchester United and Norwich in a bid to achieve the first back-to-back successes in the competition since Liverpool achieved the feat in 2006 and 2007. This year’s Blues squad is arguably as well-set to finally…

As we get set to embark on a 63rd FA Youth Cup campaign, many people may not realise that Chelsea have a rather proud history in the competition.

The visitors were afforded the chance to take the lead early in the second half when Ola Aina was harshly adjudged to have handled the ball inside his own penalty area but whilst Will Keane converted from the spot, Andreas Christensen headed an equaliser to ensure Adi Viveash’s…
