Oliver Reiss’ side return to Under-18 Premier League North action for the first time in 2026, with a trip to East Lancashire on Saturday 24 January.
Kick-off is scheduled for 11:00 (UK), with our CITY+ stream to start just before the game begins.
Leaders City will be looking to secure our 11th league victory of the season with the young Blues currently four points clear of second placed Manchester United.
And Reiss’ young boys in blue will be boosted by our 5-2 FA Youth Cup triumph over Arsenal last time out.
Rovers, meanwhile, sit 11th in the table with 14 points accrued so far from their 11 games to date.
Watch our clash with Blackburn live on CITY+ via the video above on Saturday 24 January...
