English soccer titans meet at MetLife Stadium

The World Cup is over, but the best the English Premier League has to offer is here — right in our backyard.

Manchester City will face the Liverpool Football Club in a Guinness International Champions Cup friendly Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The tournament, in its second year after replacing the World Football Challenge, played a doubleheader last summer at MetLife Stadium.

The two teams finished first and second in the EPL a year ago. Manchester City, the defending champion, is coming off a 5-1 rout of Italian club AC Milan in its Guinness International Champions Cup opener at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Liverpool defeated Greek club Olympiakos, 1-0, at Soldier Field in Chicago.

World Cup stars such as midfielders David Silva (Spain) and Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast), goaltender Joe Hart (England) and forward Edin Dzeko (Bosnia and Herzegovina) will join the B-level Manchester City side against loaded Liverpool, which brings a stacked 33-man roster that will include goaltender Pepe Reina (Spain) and midfielder Steven Gerrard (England).

In May, the MLS announced Man City was teaming with the Yankees to bring New York City FC as an MLS expansion team in 2015, with the Premier League club having majority ownership.
