Who's playing? Stoke City will try to put three points in the bag, while handing Manchester City their first loss of the season under Pep Guardiola.
The Potters will try to take advantage of Manchester City's fitness, since the Sky Blues had a grueling UEFA Champions League play-off match on Tuesday. Even if they outclassed Steaua, the trip to Romania and having played one more match than their opponents might force Pep Guardiola to make some changes to his starting lineup.
What time? Saturday, August 20, at 04:30 PDT/ 06:30 CDT/ 07:30 EDT/ 11:30 GMT/ 12:30 BST/ 13:30 CEST.
What stadium? Britannia Stadium, also known as Bet365 Stadium. The 19-year old venue can seat up to 27,900 fans.
