Training: Getting set for the Saints

Manchester City’s first team squad were in high spirits as they completed their preparations for Sunday’s game against Southampton.

And, following the comprehensive 4-0 victory over Liverpool, who can blame them?

Sporting our new PUMA training kit, City were put through their paces by Pep Guardiola at the City Football Academy on Saturday morning, ahead of the trip to St Mary’s.

Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne and Benjamin Mendy, were amongst the happiest members of the squad, as they refocused ahead of a third game in seven days.

Check out the best images from the session in the gallery below…
