Manchester City are set to begin their pre-season tour of the United States as they face Celtic in North Carolina.

The game at the Kenan Memorial Stadium will kick off at 12:30am (BST) and we'll bring you all the updates you need as the preparations for City's quest to retain their Premier League title ramp up.

Pep Guardiola has named a relatively callow squad for the trip to the United States. The shock name listed on the tour squad that was announced last week was 20-year-old Amar Fatah. The young trialist is unlikely to sign permanently with the Blues but it is hoped the tour can be a useful experience for him under Guardiola.

While plenty of academy stars have been named in the 27-man squad there are also a handful of household names. Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland are two of the few first-team stars available for the trip, together with Ederson, Stefan Ortega, Kalvin Phillips and Oscar Bobb.
