Man City vs Sevilla: UEFA Super Cup prediction, kick-off time, TV ...

A maiden Champions League success over Inter Milan in June sealed a Treble-winning campaign for Pep Guardiola’s side and booked their place in this showpiece fixture in the Greek capital, with Sevilla the opponents after the Spanish outfit once again won the Europa League by beating Jose Mourinho’s Roma.

City were bested on penalties by Arsenal in the Community Shield at Wembley but got their Premier League season off to a successful start on Friday with victory over Burnley.

This is City’s first appearance in the Super Cup, while Sevilla have been beaten by the Champions League winners in four of the past nine seasons.

Man City vs Sevilla is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight on Wednesday August 16, 2023.

The match will take place at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens, Greece.

TV channel: In the UK, tonight’s game will be televised live on TNT Sports, with coverage beginning at 7pm.

Live stream: Subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the TNT Sports app and website.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog.

Ruben Dias is unavailable for City due to concussion protocols, while fellow centre-back John Stones continues to battle an abductor injury. Kevin De Bruyne will also be sidelined for months after picking up another serious hamstring injury as City decide whether or not to send him for surgery, and Bernardo Silva has not made the trip to Greece due to illness.

Josko Gvardiol could make his full City debut tonight after coming off the bench against Burnley, while Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic are both expected to come into the starting lineup.

Sevilla had Loic Bade sent off in their LaLiga opener, a 2-1 home defeat by Valencia, but the Frenchman’s suspension does not apply in Europe and so he will be available to face City.

Tanguy Nianzou and Marcao are set to miss out with injury, but Jesus Navas is expected to feature against his former club.

City were dominant against Burnley to kick their Premier League season off despite not being at their best, and were the better team against Arsenal in the Community Shield before losing on penalties.

Only once in the past decade has the previous season’s Europa League winner won the Uefa Super Cup, with Sevilla themselves regularly tasting defeat. That pattern looks set to continue here.
