Juventus coach Igor Tudor warns his players ‘the past means nothing and you must confirm yourself every time’ ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup clash with Manchester City.

It kicks off at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT, 15.00 local time).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the Liveblog.

Both teams have already secured their spot in the knockout rounds, having beaten Wydad AC and Al-Ain already in the tournament.

It is therefore a head-to-head to win the group, although Juventus have the advantage of having scored one more goal, so a draw would see them finish top.

Tudor rotates Juventus squad

“This is the game everyone wants to play. I chose strong players, a strong team, then we’ll see what happens. I expect changes in the second half too,” Tudor told DAZN.

“We are through, but the opponents are great, we will try to play our football, and see how much we can do that in this heat.”

Tudor has made six changes to the starting XI this evening, including Dusan Vlahovic and the return of Filip Kostic after a year out on loan to Fenerbahce.

“It is always an opportunity, the past means nothing and you must confirm yourself every time,” assured the coach.

“There are many players here who have great quality and haven’t played so far because we needed to get them in shape.”

Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula are not even on the bench, with reports there are no physical problems, so their absence is purely down to the stalled negotiations for a sale to Nottingham Forest.

Juventus vs Manchester City – where to watch on TV

The best way to live stream the Club World Cup is with DAZN, which is offering a free service this summer, which can also be upgraded to a premium service. DAZN’s free offer means ads during games, and no replays or extended highlights, but it’s still a pretty tempting deal that will surely get fans and others signing up quickly.
