Training: Building to Bournemouth

View a selection of images from City's final training session before our Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

Pep Guardiola’s side welcome the Cherries to the Etihad Stadium for a 16:30 (UK) kick-off on Sunday 2 November.

City will be looking to return to winning ways in the top flight following a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa last time out.

And will be hoping momentum from our 3-1 win over Swansea in the Carabao Cup midweek will provide the perfect boost.

But standing in our way is an in-form Bournemouth that are undefeated in eight Premier League games and sit second, two points above City.

With a vital fixture ahead, Guardiola and his team were hard at work on Saturday afternoon, putting together the final preparations ahead of Sunday’s clash.
