Training: Up for the cup!

View the best images from training as City’s preparations for our FA Cup visit to Bournemouth continued.

Pep Guardiola’s side travel to the Cherries on Sunday 30 March at 16:30 (UK) in the quarter-finals of the historic competition.

The Blues reached the last-eight following wins over Salford, Leyton Orient and Plymouth Argyle, meanwhile, Andoni Iraola side recorded triumphs over West Brom, Everton and Wolves.

The tie represents the second meeting between the teams this season following our narrow 2-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium earlier this term in the Premier League.

With a place at Wembley on the line though on Sunday, Pep Guardiola and his players’ committed hard work continued at the City Football Academy on Friday as we gear up for another difficult challenge.

Take a look at a selection of images from the session via the gallery below!
