The date and kick-off time has been confirmed for City’s FA Youth Cup fourth-round tie away to Brighton and Hove Albion.

The game – to be staged at Brighton’s American Express Elite Performance Centre – will be played on Tuesday, January 18, with the kick-off set for 2pm.

Ben Wilkinson’s youngsters earned the right to tackle the Seagulls after a fine 3-0 third-round win away at Middlesbrough last month.

Should we be successful on the south coast, City’s reward will be a fifth-round tie away to the winners of Accrington Stanley and Charlton who meet in their fourth-round tie on January 18.
