City were back hard at work at the CFA on Monday.

Less than 24 hours after Sunday’s derby draw at Manchester United, Pep Guardiola’s squad were put through their paces at the CFA.

Under a pristine blue sky amidst glorious April sunshine, the City players’ attentions turned to recovery - and the next challenge on the horizon - Saturday’s key league home clash with Crystal Palace.

With just seven Premier League games remaining, the battle to secure Champions League football next term is intensifying.

Sunday’s goalless draw at Old Trafford left City in fifth place in the table but with 21 points still up for grabs, there’s still everything to play for.

And as Monday’s training gallery shows, the lads were in fine spirits as they went about their work.
