Fans with a CITY+ subscription can tune in to our Premier League 2 play-off quarter-final against Aston Villa live on mancity.com and the Official Man City App this evening.

Ben Wilkinson and our Elite Development Squad travel to the West Midlands on Friday 1 May, with kick-off at Bodymoor Heath scheduled for 19:00 (UK).

After a 3-1 win over Arsenal in the Round of 16 the game prior, City moved one step closer as we look retain the play-off title. 

Now, the young Blues will be looking to put on another positive performance, this time against Villa, to secure our place in the final four. 

It will be our second encounter of the season against the Villans. Our previous match-up in the League Phase saw City win 4-0, providing the perfect confidence boost ahead of Friday night’s game. 

Can City put on another clinical performance on the road?
