Leeds v City | Tuesday 4 February, 19:00 (UK) | FA Youth Cup

After wins over Crystal Palace and Millwall, City’s fight to retain the FA Youth Cup continues with a trip to last season’s finalists Leeds United.

Kick-off at the LNER Stadium in York is scheduled for 19:00 (UK) on Tuesday 4 February.

Our recent league encounter, which City won 3-2 with 10 players, could perhaps be a good omen for our game against a Leeds side who has struggled to find form this season.

The game will be broadcast live on our digital estate via CITY+ with a comprehensive match report, post-match reaction from Reiss and his players, CITY+ full-match replay and highlights to follow the final whistle.
