Training: City are up for the Cup!

City were back hard at work at the CFA on Wednesday as the build up continues ahead of Friday’s FA Cup fourth round clash at home to Arsenal.

The Etihad cup encounter pits the current Premier League leaders against second placed City and promises to be an occasion to savour.

It’s a game that has caught everyone’s attention and it’s one which also sees former City coach Mikel Arteta, now in charge of the Gunners, return to the Etihad.
