Who is playing in the MLS All-Star game?

The yearly exhibition gives fans, players and officials the chance to vote on the league's best-performing players and pits them against Europe's elite.
Those expecting a routine Gunners victory should know that Bayern Munich, Juventus, Real Madrid and Tottenham have recently failed to win this tricky fixture.
DC United manager Wayne Rooney will take charge of this year's team which includes his leading goalscorer, Christian Benteke, and goalkeeper Tyler Miller.
Elsewhere, Premier League and SPL fans will be familiar with ex-Celtic hitman Giorgios Giakoumakis. He's scored 10 goals in 15 appearances for Atlanta United.
Carles Gil, 30, has had spells with Valencia, Elche, Deportivo La Coruna and Aston Villa, where he featured 28 times in the Premier League, scoring twice and providing two assists.
Goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is certain to depart MLS soon and could even end up at Manchester United, while ex-Dortmund stopper Roman Burki provides back-up.
Mexican international Hector Herrera, La Masia graduate Riqui Puig and, quite probably Premier League-bound, Thiago Almada all feature in the midfield.
US internationals Jordan Morris and Jesus Ferreira will be joined in attack by Kei Kamara, a popular figure with 200 career goals who spent time on loan at Norwich City.
Arsenal travelled to the States over the weekend and new signing Declan Rice was pictured sat next to Leandro Trossard on the plane.

Aaron Ramsdale, Alex Runarsson and Karl Hein will form a three-man goalkeepers union, but US international Matt Turner is currently on holiday after back-to-back tournaments.

New signing Jurrien Timber is expected to get his first runout in defence while US citizen Auston Trusty could also make an appearance late in the game.

Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and the USA's Gold Cup star Folarin Balogun have also been included.
