The best of the action from training ahead of City’s Barclay’s Women’s Super League Manchester derby.

Gareth Taylor’s side will travel to Leigh Sports Village on Sunday 21 May, with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 (UK).

After our 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at the start of the month, the mood in the team is lifted as the team work hard on their preparations for City’s penultimate game of the season.

Before the coaches can put the players through their paces, their touch is put to the test by Alex Greenwood.

Steph Houghton provides a moment of magic to start the session off with a shot worthy of clipping for social media.

After the players take to the pitch, some running to stretch the legs followed by some quick passing drills focused on regaining possession which is watched by Taylor and the coaching staff. 

Ellie Roebuck is also put through various goalkeeping drills ahead of this weekend’s key fixture before training is finished off with some flowing passing.
