City begin the 2013/14 pre-season in earnest today with the first match of the summer tour – and you can watch the game live, right here on mcfc.co.uk.

Manuel Pellegrini’s first match in charge will be against Supersport United in Pretoria and we will be streaming the game live from just before kick-off.

The match at the Loftus Versfeld, part of the Nelson Mandela Football Invitational, begins at 2pm UK time and it won’t cost you a penny.

New signing Fernandinho is bound to see some action and apart from the established first-team stars, several youngsters in the Blues’ tour party will also hope to see some game time.

So tune in this afternoon for what should provide an interesting challenge for Pellegrini’s men.
