Aston Villa and Manchester City face off this afternoon in the FA Youth Cup final.
City's Under-18s side are the favourites to retain the trophy they won last year, but Villa will have home advantage as they look to win the competition for the first time since 2021.
Oliver Reiss' City youngsters, who have not lost in the FA Youth Cup since December 2023, have continued to look imperious this season, scoring 19 goals across their five games en route to the final.
They head to Villa Park having last week wrapped up the Under-18 Premier League North title.
But against Villa they face somewhat of an unknown as these two teams have not played each other since 2020. Villa coach Jimmy Shan said those watching on will "see the best that Aston Villa and Manchester City have to offer."
