In what will be his first game in charge since stepping into the role of Lead Coach, Lauris Coggin and his team will be looking to begin our title defence with a positive result against Liverpool.
We welcome the Reds to the City Football Academy on Saturday 15 August, with kick-off set for 11:00 (UK), and our CITY+ stream will start just before the game begins.

City lifted the Under-18 Premier League North title last term, making it two successive campaigns in which we were deemed the best in the upper half of England.
Keen to continue our momentum with new faces joining the squad, Liverpool will be a testing but exciting first challenge for our Under-18s.
Who will claim the first three points of the new campaign?
CITY+ subscribers will be able to watch the action unfold live via the video above on Saturday...
