Manchester United U18 are all set to host Manchester City U18 in a Premier League U18 clash at Carrington on Saturday.
Bagging a full 33 points on offer, United see themselves 11 points clear of Liverpool atop the league standings. However, Adam Lawrence's side suffered an FA Youth Cup exit following a midweek 2-0 loss against Swindon Town.
On the other hand, with 22 points from 10 games, third-placed City are not far behind in the title race as they have a game in hand as compared to their cross-city rivals. Ben Wilkinson's lads have also progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup after beating West Ham 2-0 last Friday.
