Gareth Taylor’s side lock horns with Marc Skinner’s to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 19 January with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 (UK).
It’s the first heavyweight bout between the sides this term and it’s set to be an enthralling afternoon with one point separating us in second and our cross-city rivals in fourth heading into the clash.
Last term, the Blues won each of our three meetings with Manchester United in all competitions – but we’ll have to be at our very best to collect three precious points on Sunday.
