The FA have confirmed the details of the next rounds of the FA Youth Cup, with Arsenal completing their set of away draws.

Arsenal have already played away to Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, and West Ham United, and they face a trip to Liverpool next for the Youth Cup quarter-finals.

If they make it through that, they’ll travel away to Ipswich Town or Sheffield United for the semi-final. Then they’ll play away in the final too, against one of Newcastle United, Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, or Everton.

There are no specific dates available yet, but the quarter-final must be played by May 1st, the semi-final by May 15th, and the final by May 29th.

Arsenal put in a couple of dominant displays against Blackburn Rovers (4-1) and West Ham United (3-1) in the couple of rounds since the competition’s suspension was lifted.

Omari Hutchinson, Khayon Edwards, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, and Miguel Azeez have been among the star performers, and Kido Taylor-Hart has also impressed lately amid the speculation around his contract.

As an attacking outfit, there’s certainly a lot to be excited about. If they can start keeping some clean sheets too, they’ll have a great shot at the trophy.
