Manchester City vs Al-Ain - Club World Cup: Live score, team news and updates as the Citizens look to secure their place in the knockout rounds with a win

It's not every day two brothers get the chance to see their respective football teams play against one another. We are all familiar with Sheikh Mansour (middle right), the owner of City, and the man with the bottomless pockets who has fuelled the club's dominant recent history.

Well, his big bro, who also happens to be the president of the UAE, Sheikh Mohamed (middle right), is the president of Al-Ain.

He will not be looking forward to this one, especially after seeing the side lose 5-0 in their opener against Juventus. Perhaps a message of mercy will be communicated to the City roster ahead of kick-off.

City's opponents tonight at the Abu Dhabi side Al-Ain - the most successful side in the country's history.

Al-Ain, founded in 1968, won the league title a record 14 times, the first of which dates back to 1977 and most recently in 2021-2022. They finished 5th in the UAE Pro League last term.

Togolese striker Kodjo Laba, who racked up a 25 goal contributions across all competitions during the last season, is their danger man.

The fun never stops at Mail Sport and tonight we have the final match of the second round of fixtures from the Club World Cup for you as Manchester City take on Al-Ain.

What have you made of the tournament so far? The shocks from the Brazilian sides have certainly helped, as have the wobbles of Real Madrid.

There was no such issue for City in their opener, as they cruised to a 2-0 victory over Wydad on Wednesday. A win for City tonight secures safe passage into the next round and I will be dumbfounded if the result is anything but that.

Kick-off at the stunning Mercedes-Benz Stadium is at 2am. Ahead of that we'll have all the updates from Atlanta, team news and then all the action when it gets underway.
