In fact they've only lost two FA Youth Cup matches in the last eight years.

The Chelsea youngsters are managed by one time Bluebirds target Jody Morris (remember him, did a runner I seem to recall)

‘We have to show Cardiff the respect they deserve,' said Morris, 'so we’ve done our homework and been through the clips of them. It’s important for us to prepare the lads as best we can but we also know that in these type of games it’s better that we focus on ourselves because if we do our jobs right and treat the game with the right respect, it should be enough on the night.’

City warmed up for this tie with a 3 - 2 win over Bristol City at Leckwith on Saturday.

Good luck to the lads.
