"Thank you once again for your incredible support. We can't wait to welcome you back to the MKM Stadium for the start of the Premier League season," the club added in a statement.

Sergej Jakirovic's men, who returned to pre-season training on Monday, kick off their campaign with a huge home meeting with Manchester United on August 22.

Before the new-look international break, City's only other home outing comes against Europa League winners Aston Villa, with that game coming on September 5, against Aston Villa.
