What is the International Champions Cup?
The International Champions Cup is an annual pre-season friendly tournament, currently in its sixth year.
The competition was started in 2013 and featured eight clubs: Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Valencia, Everton and LA Galaxy. That year, the tournament, which was won by Real Madrid, was played across 13 stadiums and six cities in the US and Canada.
Since then, the tournament has expanded to 18 teams playing 27 matches across the US, Europe and Singapore.
In 2018, the competition has changed its format. In previous iterations, separate winners were crowned in the different continents, while this year there will be only one, 'overall global' champion.
Manchester United will play Liverpool in Michigan Stadium, one of the largest in the world
Each team plays three matches and the club that acquires the most points will be crowned the champion. Any match that is tied in the 90 minutes will go to a straight shootout. The team that then wins the shootout gets two points, while the losing team gets one.
When is the International Champions Cup 2018?
The International Champions Cup 2018 will be held between July 20 and August 12, 2018.
What Premier League teams are involved?
