The game takes place at Rockliffe Park on Saturday 8 April, with an 11:30 (UK) kick-off.
Ben Wilkinson’s youngsters currently sit second with 48 points from 20 games in the U18 Premier League and will be looking to reclaim top spot from Sunderland with a victory.
The Black Cats currently sit two points above City but have played one more game than the reigning national champions ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.
City will be looking to bounce back following Tuesday evening’s FA Youth Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal, who won 2-1 in extra time after we’d played with 10 men for the majority of the match.
However, Wilkinson’s side travel north with an impressive run of form in the league, winning our last seven matches.
We will also be buoyed by the result in the corresponding home fixture over Middlesbrough in February. Goals from Farid Alfa-Ruprecht, Nico O’Reilly and a brace for Justin Oboavwoduo summed up an impressive 4-1 win over this weekend’s opponents.
Middlesbrough are seventh in the league, with 24 points from 18 games.
