Albion Under-18s will play Manchester City at The Hawthorns in their FA Youth Cup quarter-final tie on Thursday, February 27 (ko 7pm). 

Leigh Downing's young group set up their last-eight clash after defeating Norwich City 4-2 in East Anglia.  

So far, including their last victory over the Canaries, the Baggies' 18s have won three matches in the competition - starting off their run with a 6-4 AET triumph over Harrogate Town prior to beating Stoke City 2-0 at the bet365 Stadium. 

But their next battle in B71 will present their toughest task yet, with City's starlets beating Leeds United 6-1 in the previous round to set up their date at The Hawthorns. 

As a consequence of this particular match being confirmed, Albion's PL2 fixture against Sunderland will now be rearranged. That game was scheduled to be played on Monday, March 3. New details will be confirmed at the earliest possible opportunity.
