Arsenal U18 vs West Ham U18 – FA Youth Cup final: Gunners eye silverware as Hammers look to end torrid trophyless run

ARSENAL football club as a whole is blossoming and the U18s side are set to feature in the FA Cup Youth Final – but the West Ham youth side stand in their way.

Michael Rosiak’s incredible free-kick and Myles Lewis-Skelly’s 121st-minute strike saw the Gunners edge past Manchester City in the semi.

While Divin Mbuma’s hattrick against Southampton stole all the headlines as the Hammers humiliated the Saints 6-1.

Jack Wilshere will be desperate to lead his side to silverware in just his first season at the helm of the U18s side.

However, West Ham’s U18s haven’t secured FA Cup glory in over two decades, so they’ll want to put that torrid run to an end.

But this could cause implications for the Men’s upcoming match against their bitter London rivals Chelsea.
