Man City vs Bayern Munich LIVE early team news and updates as Erling Haaland set to start

Manchester City will be looking for their second pre-season victory tonight as they take on Bayern Munich at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

City faced a stern test in the early hours of Thursday morning when they faced Mexican side Club America. The narrow 2-1 scoreline did not tell the full story with the Blues comfortable throughout.

Kevin De Bruyne wore the captain's armband in Houston and put in a leader's performance with two classy goals. Jack Grealish also put in a positive display after clearly being targeted by his opponents.

The opposition have a couple of familiar names in their ranks. Leroy Sane spent four years at the Etihad before moving to Bayern in 2020 while Sadio Mane has just arrived in Germany following a long spell at rivals Liverpool.
