City learn FA Youth Cup third round opponents | OneFootball

Manchester City will begin our defence of the FA Youth Cup side with a third-round clash at home to Crystal Palace.

The Blues won the trophy for the fourth time in our history with a 4-0 victory over Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium in May.

City beat Watford, West Ham, Reading, Tottenham and Bristol City on the way to the final as we lifted the trophy we also won in 1986, 2008 and 2020.

Oliver Reiss's side currently sit second in the Premier League Under-18 North table on the back of an unbeaten run which stretches back seven games.

Meanwhile, Palace are 10th in Premier League Under-18 South with two wins from nine matches and four draws.

All ties are scheduled to be completed by Saturday, 14 December. A date and kick-off time will be confirmed as soon as possible so stay close to mancity.com for full fixture details.
