Training: Full focus on Cherries clash

View the best images from training as City’s preparations for the visit of Bournemouth continued.

Pep Guardiola’s side welcome the Cherries to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 4 November, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 (UK).

We enter the tie buoyed by our impressive 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford last time out where goals from Erling Haaland (two) and Phil Foden secured the deserved victory.

City have an impeccable record against the south coast side having won all 12 of our Premier League meetings with Bournemouth while scoring 40 goals across those clashes.

However, against Adoni Iraola’s side who secured their first league win of the season in the previous assignment over Burnley, we will have to be at our best to collect another three points.

As ever, our meticulous hard work coincided with plenty of smiles in training as there was nothing but positive vibes in the camp in the Manchester rain.
