Leicester City Under-18s will welcome Leyton Orient to King Power Stadium on Wednesday 14 December (7pm kick-off) in the FA Youth Cup third round. 

Orient defeated Poole Town 7-1 in their second round tie at the Tatnam Ground last Tuesday night, meaning they will now be City’s opposition next month. 

The young Foxes have enjoyed success in the FA Youth Cup in recent seasons and reached the semi-finals in 2015 where they were eliminated by Manchester City over two legs. 

Several of the scholars within the City squad have already tasted experience in the UEFA Youth League with matches against Club Brugge, Copenhagen and FC Porto.
