City were back hard at work at the CFA on Wednesday as the focus switches to this Sunday’s huge Premier League derby at home to United.

A little over 12 hours after sealing our place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 fifth-round win at Peterborough, the squad were back out on the CFA training pitches as the build-up got underway ahead of the visit of our near neighbours.

Any derby always carries extra special significance of course and with City currently six points clear at the top of the table, Sunday’s meeting with Ralf Rangnick’s side will be no different.
