Hull City's youngsters primed for FA Youth Cup run as Tigers learn fate

Hull City's youngsters will face league rivals Millwall next weekend as they begin their FA Youth Cup campaign away from home in the capital.

The Tigers will head to The Den to face the Lions next Friday evening, November 29, at 7pm, just hours before the first team are in action at the opposite end of the country on Teesside against Middlesbrough at 12:30pm on Saturday lunchtime.

Last term, City made it to the fourth round of the prestigious competition having beaten AFC Fylde away in round three before succumbing to a 5-0 home loss to Crystal Palace. Manchester City were the eventual winners last season, beating Leeds United 4-0 in the final.
