The first leg of the semi-final gets underway at 7pm inside Manchester City’s Academy Stadium on Wednesday 11 March, with Trevor Peake’s men bidding to become the first Leicester City side ever to reach the final. The Under-18s’ route to the final four has seen them topple Wigan Athletic, Chesterfield, Southampton and most recently Birmingham City – who they beat 2-1 thanks to a late goal from defender Darnell Johnson. With the confidence of a promising league campaign behind them, the young foxes will be keen to continue their fine season with a positive result against Manchester City, and based on previous results, the Leicester youngsters are certainly not to be underestimated. image: http://www.lcfc.com/cms_images/news/oppositioncamp-mp280-331317.jpg Standing in Leicester City’s way at the Academy Stadium on Wednesday evening will be the formidable opposition of Manchester City, who will be looking to make the most of home advantage in the first leg. The Citizens’ result in the quarter-finals will have given the Foxes plenty of food for thought after they emphatically disposed of a talented Crewe Alexandra side 6-1 on home soil to raise hopes of a repeat of their 2008 triumph in the competition. Prior to the win over Crewe, Manchester City overcame challenges from Oxford United, Coventry City and Stoke City – all three impressive victories coming on home soil. Their preparations continued in a positive manner this past weekend, when they beat a strong Derby County outfit 2-1 at the Academy Stadium in the Barclays Premier Academy League – underlining the size of the challenge for the Foxes on Wednesday. image: http://www.lcfc.com/cms_images/news/statattack-mp280-331316.jpg Last three results: Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Leicester City Barclays U18 Premier League Saturday 7 March, 2015 Goals: Loft, Paul Leicester City 3-5 Arsenal Barclays U18 Premier League Wednesday 4 March, 2015 Goals: Moore 8, King 90, Bailey 90; Mavididi pen 18, 53, O’Connor 35, Eyoma 54, Zelalem 76 Leicester City 2-1 Birmingham City FA Youth Cup Quarter-Final Wednesday 25 February, 2015 Goals: Barnes 48, Johnson 88; O’Neill 36 Manchester City Manchester City 2-1 Derby County Barclays Academy Premier League Saturday 7 March, 2015 Manchester City 6-1 Crewe Alexandra FA Youth Cup Quarter-Final Monday 2 March, 2015 Newcastle United 1-2 Manchester City Barclays Academy Premier League Wednesday 25 February, 2015 For full details of tickets for the fixture, included free entry for Season Ticket Holders*, click here.

davieG Posted 11 March 2015 Author Posted 11 March 2015 How come the other semi was live on ITV4? The 2nd leg is on TV subject to certain criteria.
Phube Posted 11 March 2015 Posted 11 March 2015 The 2nd leg is on TV subject to certain criteria. All their parents have signed the 'Allow photography' form?
Voll Blau Posted 11 March 2015 Posted 11 March 2015 Get a big crowd in for the home game to back them and they'll get back into this. That said, looking forward to the internet superscout weirdos giving their verdicts on tonight's performance.
