City to host Manchester United in FA Youth Cup final](https://www.mancity.com/news/eds-academy/man-city-fa-youth-cup-final-opponent-confirmed-63912030)
Ben Wilkinson’s Elite Development Squad will welcome the Gunners to the Joie Stadium on Saturday 25 April, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 (UK).
It’s our first game in the play-offs following our third-place finish in the League Phase.
City completed the first stage of the PL2 with 13 wins, one draw and six defeats.
Nine of those triumphs and our one stalemate were on home soil to see us extend our PL2 unbeaten run at the Joie to over a year.

And City will be looking to build on that with a positive result over Arsenal who finished 14th in the League Phase.
This is also the second successive season City have faced Arsenal in the play-offs after our Blues welcomed the London outfit to the Joie Stadium for last season’s quarter-final.
It was a 3-2 win in extra-time that day, with goals from Ashton Muir, Lakyle Samuel and Divin Mubama, seeing us advance to the final four before lifting the play-off trophy a couple weeks later.
The winner of our Round of 16 clash will travel to Southampton or Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.
Information about tickets to our game against the Gunners will be made available in due course on mancity.com and the Official Man City App.
