City’s 2025/26 FA Youth Cup journey began with a 3-1 comeback win over Fulham.
And Arsenal kickstarted their cup campaign with a 4-1 triumph over Mansfield Town.
In our respective leagues, City have been dominating the Under-18 Premier League North with 10 wins from 11.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistent form this season in the Under-18 Premier League South, with four wins from 11.
With a place in the Last 16 on the line, Friday’s match-up will be an exciting one as two of the best Academy teams in the country go head to head.
Who will come out on top?
CITY+ subscribers will be able to watch the action unfold live this evening...
