Blues step up preparation for Liverpool visit

The Manchester City squad are preparing for Saturday's vital home game with Liverpool in the Premier League.

The Blues have taken seven points from a possible nine so far this season and will be desperate to continue their unbeaten starts when Jurgen Klopp’s men arrive at the Etihad for the early kick-off.

Pep Guardiola put his players through their paces again on Thursday, keeping a watchful eye on his talented squad.

Ilkay Gundogan‘s recovery from a knee problem continues, and Benjamin Mendy‘s status as the squad’s new joker is growing by the day!

Have a look at today’s pictures from the CFA!
