All eyes will be on star forward Erling Haaland and his expected debut for Manchester City in its first preseason friendly of the summer against Mexican side Club America in Houston, Texas.

Haaland was the club’s big signing, playing for his father’s former club and a team he supported as a child. A prolific scorer in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, fans will be curious to see if he can replicate those exploits in the Premier League and whether he makes the defending Premier League champions virtually unbeatable.

Club America further ahead in its fitness, having played three Liga MX matches so far in its domestic campaign. It also played Chelsea FC in a Saturday friendly and pushed the Blues, who needed a late Mason Mount strike to claim a 2-1 win in Las Vegas.

The Sporting News is following the match live and providing live score updates and commentary.
