Aston Villa's Under-18 conclude their 2024/25 season at Villa Park this Saturday afternoon, looking to lift their third piece of silverware this campaign as they take on Manchester City in the Under-18 Premier League National Final.
In a repeat of the recent FA Youth Cup at Villa Park, where Jimmy Shan's Young Lions beat the Cityzens 3-1, Villa now take on Oliver Reiss' Man City side again, looking to record another victory over them to secure a league and cup double.
With tickets still on sale, supporters are urged to come down to B6 and cheer on our next generation on future stars.
Here are five reasons why you should head to the game...
Come and witness history
Those in attendance in B6 could may well witness history, with Villa's under-18s bidding for their first Premier League National title since the competition was revamped back in 2012.
Shan's Young Lions secured the south division title with a game to spare, as a 1-0 win over Leicester City earlier this month wrapped up the divisional crown, while City won the north title a week earlier, ending their league campaign with just one defeat in 24 games, and an astonishing goal difference of +70.
Having triumphed in the FA Youth Cup final against the same opponents at the same venue just a matter of weeks ago, the Villans will be looking to claim the league and Youth Cup double for the first time in the club's history, while placing a third piece of silverware in the trophy cabinet this season.
Villa Park over and out
With Villa's final home game of the 2024/25 Premier League season coming a day prior, as Unai Emery's men take on Tottenham Hotspur on Friday night, Saturday's clash will officially be the final game of the season at Villa Park.
With 44 games already played in B6 this term, across men's women's and academy sides, Friday and Saturday's games will take the tally up to 46 encounters at Villa Park, as the curtain comes down on another unforgettable campaign.
So, with this your last opportunity to see live action at Villa Park until the beginning of the 2025/26 season, why not come down for what promises to be another memorable affair?
