Check out the best images from training as City count down to our clash with Newcastle.

We have our first Premier League match of 2024 at the weekend and it’s a tough start with a trip to St James’ Park.

The Magpies have won just one of their last six league games but are sure to be a big test after finishing in the Champions League positions in their last campaign.

It will be our second visit to Newcastle this season, following our Carabao Cup exit in September.

Victory would see City close the gap on leaders Liverpool to just two points from the same number of matches.

And Pep Guardiola and his players were at the City Football Academy ahead of the game on Saturday at 17:30 (UK) putting in the hard work to get ready for the encounter.
