Our Elite Development Squad were hard at work in Manchester on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's crunch Premier League 2 clash with Chelsea.

We’re currently top of the table with four games remaining, four points ahead of second placed Chelsea who have just three matches left.

Crystal Palace are in third with four games to go and next play on Monday night.

Victory over our nearest challengers at the Academy Stadium on Sunday, live in front of CITY+ and Recast cameras, could see us move another step closer to a third title in three seasons.
