The fixtures for the 2021/22 U18s Premier League season have been released.

City, under the guidance of new boss Ben Wilkinson, will start the defence of our title at home to local rivals Manchester United.

That mouth-watering opener is then swiftly followed by a trip to Everton.

We host Liverpool on Matchday 7, the reverse Manchester derby will take place on March 5 and our campaign finishes away at Sunderland. 

City won last season’s U18 Premier League National title in magnificent fashion, sealing a superb 3-1 victory over Fulham in the showpiece final at the Academy Stadium.

That came after winning the 2020/21 Under-18 Premier League North Division, with our 1-0 victory over Burnley on the final day sealing the title.
