Here is a comprehensive compilation of TV schedules and listings for Man City's pre-season clash with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

On Thursday, two teams who will likely compete for the Premier League title will lock horns. They are Man City and Liverpool who will face off in the latest edition of the International Champions Cup.

Ahead of the new campaign, these two English heavyweights will lock horns in a pre-season clash at the MetLife Stadium. While both sides are unlikely to field their strongest teams, it will still be a must-win tie for both Guardiola and Klopp.

The memory of the Reds home and away win in their Champions League quarter-final encounter will not have been forgotten by Pep. Man City met Salah and Co. in the last eight in Europe and lost both legs despite being tipped as the favorite to progress.

The Merseyside giant went all the way to the final after eliminating the Citizens, albeit they ended up losing to Real Madrid. Things did not turn out bad for the Etihad Stadium side, as they followed up on their League Cup success by lifting the Premier League title.

Due to the World Cup, a number of big names will miss out on this tie. However, there are enough stars to excite the fans, including Fabinho, Naby Keita, Riyad Mahrez, and Leroy Sane, all of which featured during the pre-season.

The world's most expensive goalkeeper in history Alisson will not be available to make his Liverpool debut. Additionally, a number of youngsters will probably be given precious playing time with the senior squad in preparation for 2018/19.
