- Leicester City's Under-18s will face Portsmouth in the FA Youth Cup Third Round
- The young Foxes travel to Fratton Park on Tuesday 5 December (7pm kick-off)
- On the same night, the Club's Development Squad are in Checkatrade Trophy action
- Last season, City reached the Quarter-Final stage of the FA Youth Cup
While the Club’s Development Squad also face Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park on the same evening, Trevor Peake’s young Foxes will hope to seal safe passage to the Fourth Round.
Last season, City reached the Quarter-Final stage of the competition only to be defeated by eventual winners and Under-18s champions Chelsea at King Power Stadium.
"We've had a really good season so far," Peake recently told LCFC.com.
"We mentioned last year how young we were, not so much as an excuse for results, but as a grounding for the younger age group that was about to come through.
"You always hope that will give them experience and knowhow that they can use to progress and that is exactly what has happened. It's been a wonderful few weeks for them all.
"The other factor is togetherness and a willingness to learn. They clock up some miles, they are really hard working as a group and some players are catching the eye."
