Ben Wilkinson‘s team welcome our opponents from across the Pennines in a 19:00 (UK) start on 10 May at the Etihad Stadium, and fans can also watch the match on the FA Player.
It’s the 12th time we have taken part in the showpiece occasion, having won the tournament three times previously.
The last of those successes came in 2020, when the likes of Tommy Doyle, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, James McAtee and Cole Palmer starred for City.
Since then we have been the dominant force in the U18 Premier League, winning four successive titles before relinquishing it in this campaign.
However, we now have the chance to claim the most prestigious trophy of them all in youth football.
Standing in our way are Leeds, who have won this competition twice in their history.
They finished fifth in this year’s U18 Premier League North, 20 points behind City.
Having defeated the likes of Spurs and West Ham to get this far, we’re looking to complete the job in front of our own fans.
As always, we’ll have full coverage of the match on mancity.com and our official app.
Watch the video above to get in the mood...
