English Premier League defending champions Manchester City will be aiming for their first win at the Internatio­nal Champions Cup when they meet Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in the US today.

City have been beaten by Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, while Bayern are coming off a 2-0 defeat to Juventus in Philadelph­ia.

With some big-name players missing from both teams who are taking a break after the World Cup, there are quite a number of players to look forward to with City’s new signing Riyad Mahrez, Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva in attack.

Bayern, meanwhile, will be looking at stars such as Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery to inspire them to victory. The Bavarians also have former Arsenal striker Serge Gnabry in their squad and the striker will be familiar with City. I see the German side winning this one.
