ENGLISH Premier League title contender Manchester City will play a friendly match against a Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur in July, promoters of the event said yesterday.
It will be City's first fixture in Malaysia when it plays at the 90,000 capacity Bukit Jalil Stadium on July 30. The big-spending side is the second English team to commit to a fixture in Malaysia after Arsenal announced plans earlier this month. A third Premier League team is widely expected to also play in Kuala Lumpur, where Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool drew 80,000 attendances for fixtures against a Malaysia XI last year. FA Cup holder City and Arsenal will also play each other at Beijing's Bird's Nest stadium on July 27, the same day as the Olympic Games opening ceremony in London.
