Bairns to face Blues?

A 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Tuesday put Chelsea U18s into the Quarter Finals of this season's FA Youth Cup - and set up a meeting with Newcastle on Tyneside.

The Blues lost last year's final to Norwich City, after having won the competition in both 2010 and 2012.

This will be the second meeting of the two clubs in this competition, following a Fourth Round tie back in 1999, when United followed up a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge with a 2-1 victory at St. James' Park.

No date has yet been set for the tie, which is expected to be staged at Gallowgate. As with other rounds in the competition, a result has to be achieved at the first attempt - via extra time and penalties if necessary.

Victory over Chelsea would see Newcastle play the first game of a two-legged semi-final tie at home to either Charlton Athletic, Arsenal, or Everton.

Could this be our first silverware for quite a long while?
