Ahead of the start of the new Premier League season on 15 August, here is your complete guide to Manchester City's pre-season schedule.
Following their FIFA Club World Cup commitments throughout the summer, even if they were not in the United States for as long as forecast, this'll be a very truncated pre-season for Manchester City.
Back in June, Pep Guardiola's side appeared unstoppable, demolishing Wydad Casablanca 2-0 in Philadelphia and then Al Ain 6-0 in Atlanta to commence their Club World Cup campaign. After that, the Sky Blues steamrollered Juventus 5-2 in Orlando, Jérémy Doku, Erling Braut Håland, Phil Foden and Savinho all scoring in Florida, with many tipping them to be tournament favourites at that stage.
Well, four night's later, the Citizens were heading home, dumped out in the round of 16 by Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, beaten 4-3 after extra time on a truly crazy night at Camping World Stadium.
New recruits Rayan Aït-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki all made their Man City debuts during the summer, and Guardiola will not have much time to work with his players before a tough start to their Premier League campaign in August.
