Fulham Under-18s' 2022/23 FA Youth Cup campaign gets under way on Tuesday evening, when they make the long trip north to face Rochdale (7pm).

Form

Rochdale:

Our opposition scraped through their First Round tie against York City, beating them on penalties after the two sides were tied at 1-1. They then defeated Shrewsbury Town 2-1 to ensure their name remained in the hat. 

Fulham:

Ali Melloul's side made it three league wins on the bounce in their last game, beating Norwich City 3-0 to rise to second in the league table. The lads will be hoping to go further in the competition than last season, when they suffered a defeat at the hands of Everton in their opening game.

Promising young attackers Tom Olyott and Bradley De Jesus can't wait to get started.
