City's latest Premier League 2 play-off assignment will be available to watch live on CITY+.

City welcome Manchester United to the Joie Stadium on Friday 8 May, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 (UK).

And our CITY+ stream will begin just before kick-off on mancity.com and the Official Man City App. 

The Manchester derby final will see blue take on red as two of the best Under-21s sides in the country fight for a place in the final of the PL2 play-offs.

City will be looking to seek revenge from our last league encounter with the Red Devils which saw Wilkinson’s side fall to a narrow 2-1 defeat at Leigh Sports Village. 

And with United determine to stop City in our tracks as we look to retain the play-off title, Friday’s clash is set to be a thrilling one. 

Who will secure their place in the final?

CITY+ subscribers can find out on Friday...
