The FA Youth Cup Second Round Proper draw has been made, and this time it sees Premier League and Championship youth teams join.
There are 32 fixtures set to take place on Saturday 17 December at 7pm. These include a trip to Crystal Palace for current holders Manchester United, whilst the winner of Lowestoft Town v Dover Athletic faces the tantalising prospect of heading to Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion.
All ties must be played by Saturday 17 December 2022. Kick-off 7.00pm, unless mutually agreed otherwise.
When a match is drawn after 90 minutes, an extra 30 minutes shall be played (15 minutes in each half).
If the score remains level after extra-time, the winner shall be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark in accordance with the procedure adopted by The International Football Association Board.
Matches in The FA Youth Cup Competition take priority over all other matches with the only exception being
home first team commitments.
