What TV channel is Man City vs Liverpool FC in the FA Youth Cup final on?

Not only are Man City and Liverpool competing in the most thrilling Premier League title race in years, but the youth teams are also competing in the FA Youth Cup final on Thursday night.

City will be looking to lift the trophy once again after losing three finals since their last victory in 2008.

City's only other win in the competition came in 1986 when they beat Manchester United 3-1 on aggregate in the final.

There will be a new name on the trophy this year as Chelsea have won it for the last five seasons, though this year they were knocked out at the third round by United.

Man City's youth team manager Gareth Taylor told the club's official website: “It’s a case of one last big push. Everyone is really excited about the challenge and I think we’ve got good momentum as we’ve had a lot of games recently which can help.

“Obviously, we have to consider and put all our energy into picking up the trophy but what’s important is the steps it takes to get there and putting in the performance. They are the things you will be most satisfied with.

“I do think it will be the toughest test yet. Liverpool are a good team. They have good energy and are aggressive and like to get in your face and put you under pressure."

The game will be the first ever one-legged final with City having the home advantage as it will be played at City's Academy Stadium.
