City v Leicester | Premier League | 17:30 (UK)
It’s an action-packed Saturday for City, with the small matter of an Under-18s Manchester derby before another crucial Premier League encounter.
First, Ben Wilkinson’s side take on Manchester United as we look to continue our title charge with only three league games to play.
City are currently top of the table by a point, but victory over our third-placed opponents would take us one step closer to an unprecedented third-successive league title.
The match will be available to watch live on CITY+ and Recast, with live match updates also on our Twitter account: @ManCityAcademy if you’re unable to tune in.
A match report, highlights and full-match replay will be available on mancity.com and the official app across the evening.
Then, all eyes turn to the Etihad, as City face Leicester in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola‘s men sit six points off leaders Arsenal but have a game in hand on the Gunners, meaning every potential victory could be crucial between now and the end of the season.
Kick-off is 17:30 (UK), with our Matchday Centre getting under way two hours prior to kick-off.
Matchday Live will feature special guests Joleon Lescott, Paul Dickov and former City and Leicester midfielder Neil Lennon, with Alistair Mann and Andy Morrison providing live audio commentary from kick-off.

Extended highlights and a full-match replay (via CITY+ and Recast) will both go live at midnight following the game.
