Our Academy side will be defending the trophy won last season 4-2 on aggregate in the final against Chelsea.
That result followed a tough run through the rounds, with the young side covering the country with away victories at Reading, Bristol, Plymouth and Sunderland.
It's a draw that has excited our opponents, with Swansea's Head of Youth Development Tony Pennock saying: "No disrespect to the lower division teams but to play a team like Manchester City will be absolutely fantastic.
"The boys are excited and it will be nice for them to test themselves against that sort of opposition."
The tie against Swansea will take place on or before December 13th.
Saturday saw the Under 18 side's winning streak in the league continue with a 4-1 victory at home to Liverpool.

City are now seven points clear of Liverpool at the top of the U18 Premier Academy League Group C table - click here to view.
