Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Manchester City’s Club World Cup opener against Wydad AC.

Pep Guardiola will be keen to see what new signings Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Rayan Cherki can bring to the team after the club forked out £108m to bring all three of them in at the start of the transfer window.

City’s rebuild following the exit of Kevin de Bruyne means there is no place in the squad for Jack Grealish who is also rumoured to be on the verge of an exit this summer. Bernardo Silva is set to captain the team having seemingly committed his future to the club.

Wydad AC finished third in the Botola Pro 1 league in Morocco but should prove to be no challenge for City if the Premier League side are up to match fitness.

Stay tuned for all the build-up and team news prior to kick-off.
