Preseason friendlies: Manchester City vs. Inter—probable lineups

A high-profile friendly for Italian champions Inter, who will face Manchester City in Hong Kong. This is the first high-profile test match for Cristian Chivu’s Nerazzurri, who will face Enzo Maresca’s team for the Asahi Super Dry Trophy in a game scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Italian time.

The match will be broadcast on DAZN, Sky, and NOW, and streamed on Inter TV. Both teams are still without their World Cup-returning national team players. Maresca will rely on Sangare up front, with Foden, Mukasa, and Savinho behind him in the attacking midfield. In midfield are Nico Gonzalez and Echeverri.

Chivu will field the attacking duo of Pio Esposito and Topalovic, with Diouf and Dimarco on the wings. In midfield, Barella, Zielinski, and Frattesi will start. The defensive line will consist of Bisseck—who recently re-signed—Maye, and Bastoni.
