Most eyes will turn from the Premier League to the European Championship this summer for a football fix.
That may well be a short hop from where Pep Guardiola will be taking his squad in July for the pre-season tour, and Argentina will be playing between June 20 and July 14.

The group stage will be completed by July 30, with the three knockout rounds coming on August 2, August 5, and August 8/9. Meanwhile, City will line up in London for the Community Shield against United on August 10 with the Premier League starting up again the following week.
