Kick-off is scheduled for 11:00 (UK), with CITY+ subscribers able to watch all the action unfold live.
Oliver Reiss and his 2024/25 team suffered a dramatic defeat to Derby County last season which saw our cup journey end at the group stage.
But with two league wins already under our belt in 2025/26, City’s Under-18s will be looking to continue our positive start in today’s cup clash with Palace.
It’s our second meeting with the Eagles in as many seasons. City overcame Palace at the Joie Stadium with a late 1-0 win in the FA Youth Cup.
And today’s clash will likely prove to be another close affair.
But who will come out on top? CITY+ subscribers can watch all of the action later this morning, with the stream set to start shortly before kick-off.
