Chelsea have discovered their route to the FA Youth Cup final after the full draw for the next round and semi-finals was concluded.
Under 18's coach Ed Brands' side defeated last season's finalists Liverpool in the fifth round in what was an epic encounter that saw the Blues win by four goals to three, against all the odds.
The reds scored the first three goals of the game, courtesy of Luke Chambers, Kaide Gordon, Oakley Cannonier and it's safe to say that they had more than a healthy lead.
But Chelsea managed to hit three goals in twenty minutes, with Charlie Webster, Jude Soonsup-Bell, Malik Maine Mothersille all finding the scoresheet to level the game before injury time commenced.
It was then Tudor Mendel-Idowu's goal deep into added time that proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Chelsea are now set to face Blackpool on February 24 in the quarter-finals and the winner of that tie will take on Blackburn Rovers or Nottingham Forrest.
On the other side of the draw, Manchester United take on Leicester City and the winner of that clash will come up against Wolverhampton Wanderers or Brighton & Hove Albion.
The men's senior team managed to reach the final last season but came up short against Leicester following Belgium midfielder Your Tielemans' stunner in the 63rd minute.
So it's a great opportunity for the youth team to replicate what Thomas Tuchel's side managed to do last season but go one step further.
With 2021 winners Aston Villa losing to Leicester in this year's FA Cup, regardless of what happens, there will be a new winner for this season.
