They go into the game on the back of a draw at Blackburn and a 5-1 win over Newcastle United and sit one point behind today's hosts.
“It’s a game we’re looking forward to,” said Gardner.
“These are the type of games we want to be playing in against the better sides. That’s why we wanted to be a Category One academy, to test ourselves against some really good sides and Manchester City are certainly one of those.
“They will be used to dominating possession and having teams sit off them, which is obviously not how we play, so it will be interesting with our style. We’re used to these big games, we’re used to playing against high level teams and at high level places.

The Thorp Arch coach has seen his side perform well against teams having a good season and wants that to continue today.
“We hope to go out there and carry on from the recent good performances," he said.
“It seems to have been the case of the season that against the top sides we’ve shown more consistency than perhaps what we have shown against other teams, lower down the table.
“The message is that it is business as usual and another opportunity for us to push our way up the league, as it is quite tight at the top at the minute.”
