The Blues secured their spot in the semi-final with their 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon which meant that they finished in fourth place in the division.
City’s semi-final was meant to take place at Stamford Bridge due to Chelsea u21s topping the table, but the Londoners’ home UEFA Champions League and Premier League commitments forced the game to be moved to Manchester.
It will be the Blues’ sixth appearance at the first-team stadium this season and they have won four and lost one of their previous five encounters there.
Chelsea inflicted City’s fourth league defeat of the season when the sides met at Stamford Bridge in October, edging out the Blues with a narrow 2-1 win.
Sky Sports will broadcast the game, so fans further afield can tune in.
