Watford’s FA Youth Cup clash with Fulham has been moved forward to this Friday after the Londoners’ first team beat Tottenham Hotspur yesterday and were drawn at home.

The Hornets Under-18s were scheduled to play in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup on Wednesday, February 16 but Fulham’s 4-0 victory over Spurs resulted in a home tie for Mark Hughes’ men against either Bolton Wanderers or Wigan Athletic the following Saturday.

So as previously agreed, Watford’s FA Youth Cup game at Craven Cottage has now been moved to this Friday. Kick-off will be 7pm and tickets will be £3 for adults and £1 for concessions.

It is still unclear whether the Watford first team’s Championship game with Reading on Saturday, February 19 will go ahead as planned.

Reading are through to the fifth round of the FA Cup which meant their home game with the Hornets was expected to be postponed, with the Royals set to face either Chelsea or Everton.

But international fixtures and Chelsea’s Champions League commitments mean the fourth round replay is pencilled in for the 19th, which could see Watford’s game with Reading go ahead as scheduled.

Watford have said they will not be selling tickets for the Reading game until the date is confirmed.
