The trip to west London marks our Under-21s’ first assignment of the new season with City seeking to build on what was a quite magnificent 2024/24 campaign.
Wilkinson’s young charges won both the Premier League 2 league phase and subsequent play-off final to round off what was a season to savour.
Now CITY+ subscribers will be able to follow all the action as the City youngsters set out in pursuit of yet more silverware.
You can access CITY+ through either mancity.com or our official app as anticipation builds ahead of the new campaign.
