Check out the best images as City continued preparations for our Premier League meeting with Aston Villa.

Pep Guardiola’s side are aiming to return to winning ways when we host Unai Emery’s side on Sunday 12 February at the Etihad Stadium.

Last time out we suffered a narrow defeat to Spurs in north London, as we were unable to apply further pressure to league leaders Arsenal.

Kick-off is scheduled for 16:30 (UK) and it will be the first time we’ve faced the Villans since the Spaniard took the managerial reins at the club – replacing Steven Gerrard in October 2022.

The reverse fixture produced an exciting affair which saw Erling Haaland open the scoring, before Leon Bailey equalised with 15 minutes remaining – earning his side a share of the spoils.

And this weekend’s clash is gearing up to be another intriguing affair.
