Manchester City do battle with Real Madrid at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday, as both sides play their second match of the International Champions Cup campaign. City are still smarting from a 2-0 defeat to their fierce local rivals Manchester United, while Madrid are hoping to bounce back from a penalty shootout loss to the same side.

City have already spent £257 million so far this transfer window, including the captures of full-backs Benjamin Mendy, Kyle Walker and Danilo — the latter could reportedly make his first appearance on Wednesday, coincidentally against his former club. Things have been rather quiet for Madrid so far, with their preseason made a little less sparkling by the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains on holiday.
Real Madrid summer signing to watch: Theo Hernández
Rumours continue to swirl about the possibility of Monaco’s attacking starlet Kylian Mbappé making a big money move to Real Madrid this summer, but for the time being, their most eye-catching capture is that of young defender Theo Hernández, who has joined from cross-town rivals Atlético Madrid. The teenage left-back never made a first-team appearance for Atléti, though impressed on loan at Alavés last season, and will be optimistic of establishing himself at the Bernabéu.
Manchester City summer signing to watch: Kyle Walker
England international right-back Kyle Walker is believed to have set City back an eye-watering £50 million this summer, with the 27-year-old having joined from Tottenham Hotspur. He made his debut as City were downed by Manchester United last time out, and will surely be expecting to be handed further game time in Los Angeles.
