When will the third place playoff and final be played?
Both games are scheduled on July 20th. The third/fourth place playoff is the earlier of the two kick-offs at 06:00 ET/10:00 GMT. The final will commence later that same day at 08:30 ET/12:30 GMT.
Who are the reigning champions?
Liverpool won the last edition of this biennial tournament back in 2017. They beat Leicester, Crystal Palace, and West Brom to the trophy. However, given that the Reds are not participating this time around, there will be a new champion.
Who are the favorites to win the title?
Man City, undoubtedly. They will be without a number of their stars such as Aguero and Jesus due to their Copa America campaigns, but they are the champions of England nonetheless and are thus the favorites.
Wolves are a good shout as well. Nuno Espírito Santo's side performed extremely well last season and could beat the Citizens to the trophy.
