Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal will be able to test themselves against the best that Europe has to offer this summer in the 2017 International Champions Cup.

The annual club friendly competition will take place in three locations - the USA, China and Singapore - in July, with Manchester United and Man City taking the number of Premier League representatives to five.

While the tournament may be more useful in terms of pre-season fitness and commercial revenues in lucrative markets, there is no doubt that competitors will not want to look foolish against the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich.

The ICC will also offer the likes of Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pohettino and Arsene Wenger the chance to bed in new summer transfer arrivals, and perhaps even try a few new formations out as all three look to start the 2017/18 season with three-man defences.

Here's a run-down of the tournament...
