View the best images from training as City recovered from our Champions League win over Sparta Prague and began preparations for Southampton.

Pep Guardiola’s side extended our unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 straight matches with our victory over the Czech champions on Wednesday.

On that occasion, goals from Phil Foden, Erling Haaland (two), John Stones and Matheus Nunes at the Etihad Stadium helped secure three points on the European stage.

Those who took part in the triumph were in the gym on Thursday morning and then back on the grass as our busy schedule continues with the visit of the Saints on Saturday.

Russell Martin’s side visit Manchester on 26 October for the 15:00 (UK) kick-off in the Premier League.

And City’s meticulous preparation continued at the City Football Academy to give us the best chance of continuing our fine form this weekend.
