Gallery: All set for the Manchester derby

Check out the best images from training ahead of the 189th Manchester derby on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola and his players were on the training pitches for the last time ahead of the trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

The City boss is looking to bounce back quickly from our Carabao Cup exit and was putting the squad through their paces.

As well as taking three points from our neighbours, who currently sit in fourth spot, a victory would see us close the gap on league leaders Arsenal who play later this weekend.

Take a look at the best training images via the gallery below!
