View the best images from training as we geared up for our first home fixture of 2026.
Pep Guardiola’s side host the Blues at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday with kick-off set for 17:30 (UK).
Ahead of the clash the City boss put his players through their paces at the City Football Academy.
The Cityzens go into the encounter off a 0-0 draw with Sunderland on New Years Day and will hope to extend their unbeaten run to ten games.
Our opponents however, come into the tie off the back of two draws against Bournemouth and Newcastle and a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.
Our players were in a jubilant mood in training as they aim to continue our fine run of form in 2026.
