Huddersfield Town v Hull City
John Smiths Stadium Tues 15th March 19:00 kick off
Town tonight entertain Hull City at the John Smiths Stadium in the U21 Premier League Cup semi final. Both these teams are Academy Catergory 2 teams and are playing for a place in the final which will be against either West Ham or Liverpool who play each other tomorrow night and both who are Academy Catergory 1 clubs. Incidentally the final will be played over 2 legs and it's my understanding that they will be live on BT Sport
I can't tell you a single thing about Hull U21s but given that the 1st team have a home game tonight I'd doubt they'd use the over age rule to its maximum this evening (1GK and 3 outfield)
Town will no doubt be using the same squad of players that have got us this far, I'm expecting big Phil Billing to get a run out having just served a 3 match ban for his MK Dons sending off.
