Manchester City completed an historic treble last season by winning the Champions League on June 10, when they beat Inter Milan in the final courtesy of a winning Rodri goal. Making their first appearance in the Super Cup, Manchester City will be facing a side well-accustomed to the traditional European curtain-raiser.
Indeed, Sevilla have played in six Super Cups before, with the game in Greece against City set to be their seventh. They overcame Roma 4-1 on penalties in Budapest to win the Europa League, following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
This is the eighth Anglo-Spanish fixture in the Super Cup, with England having four victories in those previous seven contests to Spain's three.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST.
Team news
Manchester City will be without four key players against Sevilla, with Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva all missing. De Bruyne is set to miss the next three-to-four months through injury, while the other three are struggling with minor issues.
Dias suffered a concussion against Burnley and, due to needing seven days to recover, has been ruled out of the Super Cup. Silva is ill, while Stones is dealing with a minor knock that he is hoping to shake off before the weekend.
Sevilla are without former City midfielder Fernando for the game, who is also struggling with illness, while Tanguy Nianzou and Marcao both have muscular injuries to contend with.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch the Super Cup from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for the Super Cup, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Super Cup, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Super Cup TV rights
• UK: TNT Sports has all the rights to the Super Cup.
• USA: CBS, Paramount+ and fuboTV are the places to watch the Super Cup.
• Canada: The way to watch the Super Cup is DAZN.
• Australia: Stan Sport will screen the Super Cup.
