Manchester City Gears Up for AC Milan Clash at Yankee Stadium Tonight
As part of their pre-season tour in the United States, Manchester City is set to face AC Milan tonight at the iconic Yankee Stadium in New York.
Following a narrow 4-3 defeat to Celtic earlier in the week, Pep Guardiola’s squad has been strengthened with the arrivals of Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic. Although both new signings are not expected to start, they are set to make their debuts against Milan.
Guardiola will blend experienced players with promising academy talents in his lineup, featuring stars like Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish as the main attractions. All eyes will be on the team selection, particularly if Ederson will return as goalkeeper and if Kalvin Phillips will get another chance in midfield.
City’s pre-season schedule in the U.S. also includes fixtures against Barcelona and Chelsea before they take on Manchester United in the Community Shield. The Premier League champions will then kick off their league campaign against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Tonight’s match at Yankee Stadium kicks off at 11pm UK time. Stay tuned for all the build-up, live action, reactions, and in-depth analysis right here.
