The draw has been extremely kind to United so far with the youngsters picking up a home tie in each round of the competition. The lads will still face a stern challenge from a non-league Chipstead side at the weekend though as they look to earn the right to face Championship outfit Leicester City or League One outfit Huddersfield Town at a date to be agreed in January.
Carlisle have beaten Macclesfield 3-1 and Doncaster 5-3 on penalties to reach this far so the youth team boys will no doubt be confident of victory and a best ever run in the FA Youth Cup.
