City discover FA Youth Cup fourth round opponents

Manchester City’s Under-18s will play host to Millwall in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup.

Our clash at the Joie Stadium will be played before Saturday 18 January, with a date and kick-off time to be confirmed in due course.

Our opponents play in the Professional Under-18 Development League and currently sit fifth in the Group B standings.

The young Lions will be looking to go one step further than last season’s FA Youth Cup run which saw them exit in the semi-finals after a 4-3 defeat to Leeds United.

They experienced a tricky start to their 2024/25 FA Youth Cup run, however, overcoming Hull City in the third round on penalties after a 2-2 draw in 120 minutes.

City experienced a similar tough affair in the third round.

A late Dan Batty strike on 82 minutes was the only difference as Oliver Reiss’s side picked up a well-deserved 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Joie Stadium earlier this month to continue our fight to defend the FA Youth Cup title.
