Last season's treble winners Manchester City continue their pre-season preparations when they take on Spanish side Atletico Madrid in Seoul, South Korea.

Pep Guardiola's side recently played two games in Japan, including recording a 2-1 win over German champions Bayern Munich in Tokyo.

The match is just two weeks before City attempt to defend their Premier League crown and win an unprecedented fourth title in a row, and they will be given a stern test against an Atletico Madrid side that finished third in last season's La Liga.

Man City vs Atletico Madrid lineups

Erling Haaland has featured as a halftime substitute in both of City's friendlies so far this preseason but is in from the start as Guardiola fields something close to the XI he will pick to take on Arsenal a week from now.

Man City (4-2-3-1 right to left): 31-Ederson (GK) — 2-Kyle Walker, 3-Ruben Dias, 5-John Stones, 14-Aymeric Laporte — 16-Rodri, 20-Bernardo Silva — 47-Phil Foden, 19-Julian Alvarez, 10-Jack Grealish — 9-Erling Haaland

Atletico Madrid come into the match off a surprise 3-2 defeat to a K-League All-Stars team, and will look to bounce back with a better performance.

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2 right to left): 13-Jan Oblak (GK) — 22-Mario Hermoso, 4-Caglar Soyuncu, 20-Axel Witsel, 3-Cesar Azpilicueta — 12-Samuel Lino, 5-Rodrigo De Paul, 6-Koke, 11-Thomas Lemar — 19-Alvaro Morata, 7-Antoine Griezmann

Man City vs Atletico Madrid prediction

Pre-season games are always unpredictable, and often do not provide an accurate reflection of how a team may fare once competitive football gets underway.

There is a chance Man City could suffer a surprise defeat, but with such a strong squad in all areas of the pitch, they should have too much for a talented Atletico Madrid side.

Prediction: Man City 2-1 Atletico Madrid
