SOUTHAMPTON Under-18s have been drawn away to Watford in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final on Tuesday, February 25.

Calum McFarlane's youngsters face a trip to Vicarage Road in the last eight after their impressive 4-1 win over Derby County in the previous round at St Mary's Stadium.

Southampton's senior team play on the same evening away to Chelsea, who recorded a 5-1 win at St Mary's earlier this season.

Watford have confirmed that tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, February 19 from tickets.watfordfc.com, priced at £5 for Adults and £1 for Under-18s at Vicarage Road.

Supporters can also get their tickets over the phone - 01923 223023 - or in-person at the Supporter Services & Ticketing Office at Vicarage Road.

Speaking after their victory in the previous round, McFarlane told the ​Daily Echo: "The FA Youth Cup is so prestigious and all the teams in the country play in it.

"You're playing in stadiums, it just feels so different to what we experience week by week.  I've been here 18 months and I've loved it. I thought that was one of the most enjoyable nights in football so far, it was lovely."
