Training: City are up for the Carabao Cup!

There was no lack of Monday motivation at the CFA today as City prepare to launch our defence of the Carabao Cup at home to Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday night.

Pep Guardiola‘s side will play host to our League One opponents in a third round tie looking to maintain a quite remarkable record in the competition.

Winners of the League Cup for the past four seasons, City’s winning run in the prestigious tournament stretches all the way back to October 2016.
