City’s Under-18s will welcome Blackburn Rovers to the Joie Stadium for our FA Youth Cup semi-final clash.

The single-leg tie is to be played prior to or on Saturday 11 April. An update on a confirmed date and kick-off time will be available on mancity.com and the Official Man City App in due course.

Oliver Reiss’ youngsters secured our place in the final four on Friday evening with a 3-0 triumph over 10-man Everton.

After a tense opening 45 minutes, City finally broke the deadlock on 58 minutes after Floyd Samba converted from the spot after City were awarded a penalty following a foul on Xavier Parker. 

MATCH REPORT | CITY 3-0 EVERTON

A fine first-time finish from Reigan Heskey put City firmly in control shortly after Everton were reduced to 10 players after an off-the-ball incident saw Malik Olayiwola dismissed. 

Super substitute Teddie Lamb quickly made it three with a simple tap-in after he was teed up by goal scorer Floyd Samba. 

Our semi-final opponents, Blackburn, beat Burnley 2-1 in their quarter-final match-up.

The winner of our semi-final clash against the Rovers will then host the final of the prestigious competition, which will take place before or on Saturday 9 May.
