The clubs have met twice in the past ten seasons. West Ham United recording a 2-1 home win in an 1998/99 play-off game and drawing 0-0 in an inter-group game in the 2005/06 season, in a match played at Leyland FC.
West Ham United have won the FA Youth Cup on three previous occasions - 1963, 1981 and 1999. The most recent success saw a 9-0 aggregate defeat of Coventry City, when a team inspired by Joe Cole and Michael Carrick turned on the style - particularly in the 6-0 second-leg win at the Boleyn Ground. Only Manchester United and Arsenal with nine and six triumphs respectively have a better overall record in the competition with West Ham United also finishing as runners-up on four occasions. The competition dates back to the 1952/53 campaign.
