City prepare for 125th anniversary clash

City were graced with the presence of the Manchester sunshine as we prepared for Saturday's game against Watford.

Pep Guardiola put his side through their paces at the City Football Academy on Friday afternoon, ahead of the Hornets’ visit to the Etihad Stadium, when we will be celebrating the Club’s formation 125 years ago.
