Man City vs Sevilla LIVE early team news, Laporte latest and how to watch the UEFA Super Cup

Manchester City take on Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening.

City are competing to lift the Super Cup for the first time in their history after finally getting their hands on the Champions League trophy back in June with a 1-0 win over Inter in Istanbul.

Sevilla qualified for the match in Athens by once again repeating their party trick and winning the Europa League by overcoming Jose Mourinho's Roma. This will be the La Liga side's seventh visit to the final but they have only been victorious once, their first back in 2006.

Pep Guardiola is without Kevin De Bruyne for the match who is set for a lengthy absence after injuring his hamstring again while Ruben Dias remains unavailable due to concussion protocols, John Stones isn't expected to be risked and Bernardo Silva is ill.

Manchester City have accepted a bid for Aymeric Laporte to pave the way for their third senior exit of the summer.

Saudi club Al Nassr are now free to discuss terms with the player in the hope of convincing him to leave the Treble winners for a new challenge. Former City teammate Riyad Mahrez has already left this summer to join the emerging league, signing for Al Ahli for £30m.

Laporte has been open to leaving all summer after disappointment at the lack of starts he was given as Pep Guardiola’s side made history last season. However, with a shortage of interest so far in the summer he has trained with the Blues and came off the bench in their Premier League opener at Burnley.

Here are the details.
