The Blues have made the short journey to south London hoping to secure their place in the last eight of the prestigious youth tournament. An away tie at Millwall awaits the winner of tonight's game.

Tyrique George will once again lead the line in attack, following on from his stunning goal at Everton in the previous round, where the young Blues won 2-0. Donnell McNeilly is suspended after his red card in the defeat at Leicester.
