Izzy Brown: Chelsea buzzing ahead of FA Youth Cup semi

Chelsea attacker Izzy Brown says everyone is "buzzing" ahead of tonight's FA Youth Cup semifinal against Arsenal.

Chelsea host the first-leg at Stamford Bridge.

"Everyone around here is buzzing for it," Brown, 17, told chelseafc.com. "For the youth team it's like a dream to be able to play in the Youth Cup semi-finals and final. It's massive so hopefully we can get the win tomorrow and go to the Emirates and get a win there too.

"I'm excited as well because it's my first Youth Cup semi-final and it's a London derby which makes it an even bigger occasion. I've heard there are going to be quite a few fans and it's great to have their support at youth level. I've played at the Bridge before for the Under-21s and I scored a couple of goals there so hopefully I can do the same and score tomorrow."
