A place in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup is on the line in Orlando, Florida as Manchester City take on Al-Hilal.
The Premier League side clearly go in as hot favourites against the Saudi Pro League outfit, but have proved how competitive they can be so far.
Their first match of the tournament ended in a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid, while they also held RB Salzburg to a goalless stalemate.
Victory over Mexican team Pachuca in their last group stage contest saw Al-Hilal progress to the knockouts, while Salzburg missed out.
That was impressive, but City were also in good nick in the groups, hammering Wydad and Al Ain before doing the same to Juventus.

Pep Guardiola has big worries for next season (Picture: Getty Images)
What has Pep Guardiola said?
The Man City manager has aired his concerns about what this summer tournament will do to his team’s campaign next season.

‘I try not to think about it, otherwise I will be so anxious,’ Guardiola said. ‘We will rest the time the Premier League allows us to. And game by game, month by month, we will see. And maybe in November, December, January, ask me, Pep.
‘I may say: “So listen, we are a disaster. We are exhausted. The World Cup destroyed us.” I don’t know, but it’s the first time in our life that that’s happened. So we will see.
‘So I try to be relaxed, to enjoy the days here, the good vibes that we have, the competition, to try to win it. And the most important thing, to recover, to find or re-find ourselves what we were. This is my main target in this tournament.’
