The start of the 2017-18 Premier League campaign is less than a month away and two of the division's biggest clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City, face off in a pre-season clash in Houston on Thursday.
The pair are meeting as part of the 2017 International Champions Cup at the 72,220-capacity NRG Stadium.
There is no guarantee the result will prove which Manchester side will fare better in the 2017-18 season, but it will be fascinating to see how both squads are shaping up ahead of the new term and especially how their respective new recruits are bedding in.
