EDS inspired by challenge of new PL2 campaign, says Wilkinson](https://www.mancity.com/citytv/eds-academy/ben-wilkinson-eds-season-preview-202526-63890979)
Ben Wilkinson’s side welcome the Hammers to the Joie Stadium for a 19:00 (UK) kick-off in our first home game of the 2025/26 season.
And our Under-21s will undoubtedly be keen to start our home run of fixtures on a positive note as we look to defend the Premier League 2 title.
