    Yes, yes there is a hydration break.

    Cut to the ads to cash in on those billions.

    There is going to be a hydration break!

    It's hot out there, we'll allow it.

    Under way in Hong Kong, where Moises Caicedo - back after playing for Ecuador at the World Cup - is captaining the Blues in the third of their six pre-season games.

    A poacher's finish from Divin Mubama. That's two goals in two games this pre-season for the striker.

    A back-up role in store this season?

    Divin Mubama (23 mins)

    Again it's Antoine Semenyo, this time drifting in from the right-hand side and getting a shot away on the edge of the box.

    The low drilled effort is parried away by the keeper but Divin Mubama has made a really good run to anticipate the rebound and bury it home.

    City well on top now.

    Cole Palmer speaking in the Kai Tak Stadium about missing out.

    "I am obviously disappointed not to play due to a slight issue but I love Hong Kong and this amazing support," he said in an on-pitch interview.

    "The stadium and fans are amazing and it should be a good night."

    It's a lovely finish from Tijjani Reijnders, but let's talk about the flick from Antoine Semenyo.

    A touch of absolute genius.

    I interviewed Semenyo on Sunday, at a tea party event in Hong Kong featuring Earl Grey and scones.

    Yep.

    Will Mykhailo Mudryk be involved on the opening weekend of the Premier League season?

    His last top-flight game for Chelsea was at Arsenal on 10 November 2024.

    His last competitive Chelsea goal? Against Heidenheim in the Europa Conference League on 28 November 2024.

    Tijjani Reijnders (20 mins)

    A lovely finish, that.

    Antoine Semenyo plays a little one-two with Rico Lewis then it's a brilliant deft backheel touch in to Tijjani Reijnders and the Dutch forward just slots into the bottom far corner.

    City back in front.

  10. Kelly and Luiz start for Juventuspublished at 12:24 BST

    Juventus

    Former Bristol City, Bournemouth and Newcastle defender Lloyd Kelly starts for Juventus. Manchester-born forward Justin Oboavwoduo, 19, is on the bench. He is a former Manchester City academy player.

    Former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz also starts for the Italians.

    Conditions are much worse than at the World Cup, so will there be a hydration break today?

    There should be, seen as it's literally called the 'World Cup Stadium'.

    Do it, just for old times.

    A big sweeping pass out wide is taken down well by Kim Moon Hwan but it ends up in a goal kick for City.

    Anyone who hasn't seen Gianluigi Donnarumma's kit, by the way, it's worth a look. Interesting, to say the least.

    There is a full light show, pyro and both male and female dancers before this match.

    It feels a bit like a World Cup match with a hydration break also apparently planned.

    There is a Herbalgy trophy for the winner of this match between Chelsea and Juventus.

    More good work from Tijjani Reijnders but Phil Foden can't turn home at the far post.

    City have a corner and it's played deep but ends up coming back to Gianluigi Donnarumma.

    Two games played this pre-season and still no clean sheet.

    Kim Dae Won rasps a finish in at the near post, should Gianluigi Donnarumma do better? He'll be disappointed to be beaten there.

  16. Kai Tak Stadium is very impressivepublished at 12:18 BST

    The Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong is extremely impressive.

    Costing an estimated $3.8billion, this 50,000-seater complex plays host to Chelsea and Juventus in the Hong Kong Football Festival.

    It's described by some as the second most expensive stadium in the world.

    It’s got a roof, air conditioning and state-of-the-art facilities.

    Kim Dae Won (12 mins)

    Where has that come from?!

    The ball is kept alive down the left-hand side close to the byline and it's played back to Kim Dae Won, who gets his shot away and it goes through the legs of Ruben Dias and finds the bottom corner from a tight angle.

    City's lead lasted all of three minutes.

    That was Manchester City's first real attempt on goal and it's found the back of the net.

    Rayan Ait-Nouri was very much a fringe player last season, can he impress and put himself in Enzo Maresca's plans?

  19. Rayan in the right placepublished at 12:15 BST

    With Josko Gvardiol fit again and deployed at left-back, Rayan Ait-Nouri has been shifted further up the pitch.

    It's a well taken goal from the Algerian - a sign of things to come this season?

    Rayan Ait-Nouri (9 mins)

    Tijjani Reijnders does some good work down the right-hand side, twisting and turning to lose his two markers.

    He squares it across the box and it takes a little deflection back to Rayan Ait-Nouri, who was in space and only had to finish off the move.

    City ahead early doors.
