MATCHDAY LIVE

Scott Carson and Shaun Wright-Phillips will be pitchside at Seoul Stadium, ready and waiting to report back to host Cel Spellman and guests Nicky Weaver and Michael Brown.
OPPOSING MANAGER
The K-League All Stars side will be led by two coaches. Chung Jung-yong who is the new coach of current league champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, will be alongside Chung Kyung-ho.
The former is best known for taking the South Korean U20 team to the World Cup final. And the latter is the Head Coach of Gangwon FC and deemed one of the most exciting coaches in the K-League.
Both will be eager to see their team play quick, attacking football and as a result our clash could be a high-scoring one.
PREVIOUS MEETING
This will be the first time City have faced the K-League All Stars.
The latter have taken on some impressive teams over the years, including Barcelona, Tottenham, Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Newcastle United.
And, despite a change in roster, the Korean team will be looking to earn back-to-back wins for the first time. The last outing, in July 2025, saw them beat Newcastle 1-0.
