Four goals without reply away to Clevedon Town kicked off our Youth Cup journey back in December, before Nottingham Forest were put to the sword in a convincing 4-1 home win in the next round.

Derby County offered a stern test in the Last 16 but the young Blues, down to ten men, mounted a brilliant second-half comeback to snatch a 2-1 win at Pride Park, ending the host’s nine-game winning streak in the process.

Two goals in each half of the quarter-final saw us progress at the expense of Bournemouth, winning 4-1 for the second time in the competition this season. 

But we saved perhaps our best display of the tournament so far for the semi-final, overcoming West Brom 4-2 courtesy of a Ben Knight brace plus further strikes from Tommy Doyle and Felix Nmecha.

This sets up an exciting climax to our Youth Cup title tilt at the Academy Stadium against high-flying Liverpool.

As we reach the home stretch of the campaign, cast your eye over all the action on our road to the final…
