Our Elite Development Squad's Premier League 2 game against Reading is available to watch live on CITY+ this afternoon.

Scheduled for 12:00 (UK) today, City take on the Royals at the Joie Stadium for our fifth league game of 2025/26. 

It’s been a tough start to the season with one win, one draw and two defeats.

But Ben Wilkinson and his team will be looking to gain momentum from our dramatic 3-3 draw with Southampton last time out. 

Reading will also be looking to move up the PL2 table. They sit below City by one point following three draws and one defeat.

With that in mind, another exciting league test awaits, but who will come out on top?

CITY+ subscribers will be able to watch all the action live on mancity.com and the official app.
