After lifting the famous old trophy last season, we host Crystal Palace at the Joie Stadium at 19:00 (UK) on Friday 6 December to begin the new campaign.
Since winning the competition at the Etihad in May, coach Ben Wilkinson and many of the players have stepped up to the Elite Development Squad with Oliver Reiss taking charge.
Reiss’ reign has begun with seven wins and a draw from our first nine games in the U18 Premier League, as we seek silverware on all fronts.
This visit of the Eagles sees a new challenge start.
