FA Youth Cup Challenge Awaits For Young Foxes In Bournemouth
- Leicester City Under-18s tackle AFC Bournemouth in the FA Youth Cup Fifth Round
- The young Foxes are set to travel to Vitality Stadium for a 7pm kick-off on Friday night
- Leicester beat Aston Villa and Crewe Alexandra in previous rounds of the competition
- The Club’s Twitter channel will house live updates of the clash throughout the evening
City’s youngsters arrive in round five of the competition following a last-gasp 1-0 home victory over Crewe Alexandra in the previous round, when Jack Butterfill’s late finish was enough to seal further progression for the side coached by Adam Barradell.
That result followed a 2-0 triumph over competition holders Aston Villa at Villa Park in round three, thanks to strikes from Kian Pennant and Chris Popov.
The Cherries, meanwhile, defeated Exeter City 2-0 before also overcoming Queens Park Rangers by the same scoreline, to enter the same stage that Leicester reached in 2020/21 before losing out to eventual finalists Liverpool.
