The event will be streamed live on UEFA’s website.

Updates on who City will play will be available on mancity.com and the Official Man City App shortly after the draw has concluded.

DRAW FORMAT

After 3 wins, 1 draw and two losses, Ben Wilkinson’s Under-19s side placed 11th in the 36-team league with the top 22 progressing to the knockout stage.

Those have been joined by 10 teams from the third round of the domestic champions path.

For the draw, the clubs who finished the League Phase in positions one to six are seeded and will be drawn against the clubs who placed 17 to 22.

For City, and the other teams who placed seven to 16 in the League Phase, we will be drawn against one of the 10 domestic champions path teams who have been seeded.

In principle, clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other and the seeded clubs play the Round of 32 games at home.

WHO COULD CITY FACE?

AZ Alkmaar

Dynamo Kyiv

Hoffenheim

Lokomotiva Zagreb

Midtyjlland

Olympiacos

Real Betis

SK Rapid

Trabzonspor

Genk or Puskas Academia

WHEN WILL WE PLAY?

The knockout stage of the Youth League is only one tie.

This means the single-leg Round of 32 clash will take place on Tuesday 11 or Wednesday 12 February.
