Manchester United U18s vs Chelsea live score and goal updates as Obi-Martin scores hat-trick and Scanlon gets two

Manchester United will face Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup fifth round tonight.

United have won the Youth Cup won more than any other club (11 times) in the competition's history, but Chelsea have won it nine times and should provide a stern test at Leigh Sports Village.

The Under-18s won 4-2 against Preston North End in the previous round of the Youth Cup and easily brushed aside Coventry City with a 5-0 win in the opening game of the competition.

U18 manager Adam Lawrence has a talented side that is capable of winning the Youth Cup and Arsenal await in the quarter-finals, should United prevail against Chelsea.

The likes of Chido Obi-Martin, Gabriele Biancheri, Amir Ibragimov, Jack Fletcher and Harry Amass have featured in the campaign so far and United will be the favourites to beat Chelsea at home.

We'll bring you all the build-up to the clash, updates throughout the 90 minutes and reaction.

Of course, it's that man Obi-Martin again, who takes advantage of Chelsea being sloppy at the back.

Musa ON and Biancheri OFF, which isn't a surprise given he's just come back from injury.

Provided there isn't a disaster, United will play Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Youth Cup.

Obi-Martin taps home with a simple finish to, surely, wrap up the game for United.

The scoreline does not remotely flatter United. They’ve been excellent, bar the aberration of Chelsea’s goal. They’ve move the ball slickly, despite the surface being possibly a tad lush, and created plenty of chances.

Scanlon deserves a lot of credit as he missed an easy and potentially costly chance at 0-0.

Here we go for the second half at Leigh Sports Village.
