Chelsea Under 18s are poised to retain the FA Youth Cup following their 3 - 1 defeat of Manchester City at the Academy Stadium on Monday.

Four Anglo - Nigerian players were named in the starting XI for both teams, with England youth international Tosin Adarabioyo skippering the Manchester City side.

Ola Aina, Fikayo Tomori and Dominic Solanke were handed starting berths by the coach of Chelsea Under 18s, Joe Edwards.

But it was Solanke that stole the headlines as expected, scoring his 35th goal of the season in the 87th minute to give Chelsea a two - goal advantage .

The second leg comes up at Stamford Bridge on April 27, 2015.
