Premier League champions Manchester City head to the United States for three tough pre-season fixtures before they begin the defence of their title.

Pep Guardiola's City coasted to the title last season, breaking records and winning over neutrals with their slick build-up play and appetite for goals.

City face two tests against German opposition in Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, though Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool may prove the toughest of the lot after knocking Guardiola's men out of the Champions League last season.

With a Community Shield test against Chelsea to look forward to as well, a City squad short of a host of stars on holiday after the World Cup will be put through their paces before the start of the new campaign - a test Guardiola may end up relishing should City make a quick start to their title defence.
