Gallery: Getting ready to take on the Cherries

City enjoyed a sun drenched final training session ahead of our first home game of the new Premier League season.

After last Sunday’s victory over West Ham United, Pep Guardiola‘s squad will be looking to make it two wins from two when we take on Bournemouth.

We will be full of confidence following Erling Haaland‘s brace at the London Stadium, while the Club’s fans will be raring to go for the first match at the Etihad Stadium since the dramatic title clinching victory over Aston Villa on the final day of last season.
