Mark Noble on ‘fantastic’ Arsenal FA Youth Cup final, West Ham’s U18s and training with academy

West Ham United’s under-18s will be hoping to lift the FA Youth Cup title for the first time since 1999 when they take on Arsenal on Tuesday night at the Emirates Stadium.

The under-18s side, managed by former West Ham defender Kevin Keen, are having a season to remember, having won the Under-18s Premier League South title for the first time ever and facing Manchester City in the coming weeks in the national final, with a qualification spot in next season’s UEFA Youth League up for grabs.

They are now in the final of the highly prestigious FA Youth Cup for the first time since 1999, a side that included the likes of Joe Cole and Michael Carrick, who won the title for the third time in their history with a 9-0 win over Coventry City in the final over two legs, with Carrick and Richard Garica (twice) scoring in a 6-0 second leg win at Upton Park.
