Training: Focus time for City ahead of Newcastle trip

City were back hard at work at the CFA on Wednesday as the preparations continue ahead of Sunday's Premier League trip to Newcastle United.

Pep Guardiola‘s back-to-back champions have made a fine start to the 2022/23 campaign recording successive wins against West Ham and Bournemouth to go top of the table.

The trip to tackle Eddie Howe’s side at their St James’ Park stamping ground will present another tough test.
