Chelsea play in the FA Youth Cup Final against Manchester City tonight with Frank Lampard tipping Gael Kakuta and Miroslav Stoch for a bright future at Stamford Bridge.

Kakuta, who joined from Lens last summer, has scored five goals on the way to the final, while Slovakian Stoch has stood out with his wing play.

Lampard has gone to watch a couple of the youth side's games in the competition and has been impressed with the quality on show.

The England international is planning to be at the Bridge again for this evening's first leg despite getting back from the club's Champions League tie in the early hours of this morning.

He said: "I am very excited about our youngsters. There is some great talent in the youth team. Hopefully, they can develop and be with us in the first team squad for years to come.

"I think Kakuta stands out for his ability. His natural talent for someone who is just 16 is amazing and Stoch is also impressive.

"Playing on the big occasions at the big stadiums is what it's all about and this will give them a taste. They just have to make sure they don't freeze and I have every confidence in them."

Academy Director Neil Bath believes it will be another two years before anyone from the current youth team will get first team recognition.

He added: "We hope to see players breaking into the senior squad from 2010 and reaching the final shows we are going in the right direction."

Admission to tonight's game is free.
