City Under-19s goalkeeper Spike Brits says he and his team are ready and raring to go for our latest UEFA Youth League assignment.

Ben Wilkinson and his youngsters travel to HJK Helsinki on Wednesday 4 February, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 (UK).

Fans with a CITY+ subscription will be able to watch every moment of our Round of 32 tie live on mancity.com and the Official Man City App.

Brits has played every minute of our European journey so far, which includes three cleans sheets.

And the 18-year-old will be looking to help the team again on Wednesday afternoon when we take on Helsinki.

“It’s [preparation] going really well. I think everyone is really excited for this game,” said Brits. We haven’t played a youth league game in a while so everyone is excited to get back out there and enjoy the competition again.

“It will be a different challenge to what we’ve experienced before. I think it will go back to Midtjylland last year and the cold will definitely have a part to play in the game.

But everyone is excited and as long as we take the game by the head it will be alright.”

“I’m just excited, it’s a competition I enjoy playing in. I enjoy playing with all my mates because everyone is in the same age group so yeah I’m just excited.”
