Everton Youth Cup Details Confirmed

Everton's FA Youth Cup fifth-round tie with Manchester United will be staged at Old Trafford on Wednesday 9 February and kick off at 7pm.

Paul Tait's team reached this stage of the competition by defeating Sheffield United 2-1 at Goodison Park 11 days ago.

Manager Tait's Everton beat Fulham in round three and would match last season's quarter-final run by overcoming United next month.

Ticket information for the match will be confirmed in due course on Everton channels.

United made it to the fifth round after beating Scunthorpe at home in December and winning away to Reading earlier this month.
