We also have audio commentary for this game with Alistair Mann and Kit Symons and you can also follow it blow by blow on our X account - @ManCity.

Alex Greenwood, Jess Park, Lauren Hemp and Chloe Kelly are all with the Lionesses for their clash with Germany on Friday.

The game, at Wembley, kicks off at 19:30 (UK).

Former England captain Steph Houghton MBE will be honoured in a retirement ceremony ahead of the game too so fans can show their appreciation for the City great.

Houghton’s England career saw her win 121 caps for the senior team across 14 years and she featured in three World Cups in 2011, 2015 and 2019 as well as the European Championship Finals in 2013 and 2017.

SATURDAY

It’s a busy day of football on Saturday with three games taking place across our teams.

First up, Ben Wilkinson’s EDS travel to the ARMCO Arena in Solihull, Birmingham for an away clash with West Bromwich Albion.

City top the division, level on points with Liverpool and West Ham, and will be eager to cement their summit position this weekend.

You can keep across all the action live on CITY+ with comprehensive coverage of our clash with the Baggies.

After the game is over, you’ll be able to read a match report, watch highlights of the game as well as checking out a full-match replay via CITY+.

Oliver Reiss’s high-flying Under-18s go in search of yet another victory as we travel to Middlesbrough for a 12:00 (UK) kick-off at Rockliffe Park.

Our Young Blues have been absolutely flying of late, winning 4-0, 6-0, 5-2, 4-1 and 5-0 in their last quintet of games.

They lie third in the division behind Derby County and Manchester United but another positive result would put further pressure on the Rams and the Reds.

Follow the action via @ManCityAcademy on X while a match report will come shortly after full-time.

Then it’s time for Pep Guardiola’s first team to hit the pitch as we welcome newly-promoted Southampton to the Etihad Stadium.

It's a 15:00 kick-off meaning no live television coverage in the UK and the ideal opportunity to follow our in-depth coverage on mancity.com and our official app.

There’ll be a Matchday Centre live text blog from two hours before kick-off and that houses our Matchday Live show which starts approximately an hour and a quarter before kick-off.

Guests, who will offer expert analysis throughout the afternoon, include City Women’s boss Gareth Taylor and former City skipper Andy Morrison, alongside presenter Cel Spellman.

We’ll also have audio commentary with the effervescent Alistair Mann on the air with Steve Howey as they call the action for the 90 minutes.

After the whistle has blown, you’ll get a match report, interviews with the headline-makers and access to watch the manager’s press conference.

Then our short highlights package goes online at 19:00 (UK) followed by our extended highlights and a CITY+ full-match replay from midnight.

In the morning, Ayaka Yamashita, Yui Hasegawa and Aoba Fujino are with Japan as they host South Korea in their friendly, the game kicking off at 06:20 (UK) and taking place at the National Olympic Stadium.
