Clarets get Baggies in Youth Cup

Last updated : 07 November 2008 By Tony Scholes
A year ago the young Clarets landed a plum tie against Arsenal but froze somewhat on the night and went out. This time, there will be some optimism that we can overturn another Premier League club's youth team and progress into the next round.

Ties for this round have to be played by Saturday 13th December and let's hope this year the club don't try and arrange it at a time when the first team are playing. The likely venue for the game is Accrington's Fraser Eagle Stadium.

The full draw is:

Swansea v Manchester City
Brentford or Thurrock v Middlesbrough
Manchester United v Chelsea
Cardiff v Blackpool
Swindon or Exeter v Crystal Palace
Reading v Preston
Tottenham v Sheffield United
Portsmouth v Cheltenham or Gillingham
Wycombe or Leyton Orient v Watford
Barnsley v Walsall or Hednesford Town or Rochdale
Norwich v Wigan
RK Sunderland v Yeovil or Cirencester Town
Oadby Town or Leeds v Liverpool
Accrington or Carlisle v Stockport or Crewe
Sheffield Wednesday v Millwall or Dagenham & Redbridge
Coventry v Stoke
Ipswich v Shrewsbury or Bradford City
Bolton v Doncaster
Burnley v West Brom
Cambridge or Northampton v Solihull Moors or Tranmere
Aston Villa v Arsenal
Southampton v Derby
Barnet or Havant & Waterlooville v Bournemouth or Bristol Rovers or Brighton
Plymouth v Fulham
Newcastle v Oldham or Rotherham
Lewes or Croydon Athletic v Hull
QPR v Bristol City
Everton v Nantwich Town or Macclesfield
Birmingham v Lincoln or Mansfield
Leicester or Franchise v Wolves
Charlton v Blackburn
Nottingham Forest v West Ham
