Training: Gearing up for Anfield!

City were back hard at work at the CFA on Saturday as Pep Guardiola’s squad honed final preparations ahead of our huge Premier League trip to Liverpool.

The Blues visit Anfield on Sunday, February 8 with kick-off on Merseyside slated for 16.30 (UK).

It has become one of the English game’s most eagerly anticipated match-ups over the past decade and this latest affair promises to be no different.

Second placed City will be seeking to maintain momentum and to keep the pressure up on leaders Arsenal.

Reigning champions Liverpool meanwhile are out for further points to boost their push for a top-four finish.

Against slate grey Mancunian skies, the players went about their work ahead of what should be a classic match-up.
