City return to the LNER Stadium with the hosting of Port Vale on Saturday 29 November (3pm KO).

Hear the pre-match thoughts of Michael Skubala and Jack Moylan, as well as familiarising yourself with the key pre-match information in our preview. 

Michael Skubala:

“Jack Moylan is a bit of a magic man, he wants to get on the ball, drive forward and wants to be positive. Everyone saw what he can bring to the team, his enthusiasm, his ability, he can take on players. He’s an exciting player and brings another dimension to our top line.

“It’s tough for everyone in this league at the minute, everybody is dangerous. You can’t take any game for granted in this division at the moment.

“We’ve got to look after ourselves and concentrate on what we do. We’re at home, we want to be aggressive and an attacking team.”

Jack Moylan: 

“It’s really good to be back, it’s been a long three months, a tough year but I’m delighted to be back.

“From the second I’m back I want to be playing. I know I need to be patient and bide my time but the second I get back out there I want to be playing games and I want to be involved.

“I can’t wait, I think I’ve only played a few games at the LNER Stadium this year so it’s going to be really good.”
