On Sunday, Pep Guardiola’s team played out a tense 1-1 draw with Arsenal, which followed important wins over Manchester United and Napoli within seven days.
And after such a busy week, the team took to the training pitches at the City Football Academy on Monday to partake in some important recovery with our attention now on our midweek Carabao Cup clash before returning to Premier League action this weekend.
To begin, we travel to League One Huddersfield for our cup tie, with kick-off scheduled for 19:45 (UK) on Wednesday 24 September.
Then, we face Burnley at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 27 September, with that game to begin at 15:00 (UK).
With another busy seven days ahead, starting the week strong with a sunny and intense recovery session was vital for Guardiola and his team.
