Training: Preparing to face the Cherries

Pep Guardiola's side trained at the City Football Academy this afternoon ahead of our Saturday meeting with AFC Bournemouth.

We welcome Andoni Iraola’s team to the Etihad Stadium for a 15:00 (UK) kick-off tomorrow.

Our players will be full of confidence after a resounding 3-0 win over rivals Manchester United in our last assignment.

Plus, we have an incredible record against the south coast side.

We have won all 12 of our previous Premier League meetings, the best record any team has against another in English top-flight history.

However, Guardiola knows the past will not decide Saturday’s meeting between the sides.

He had his players on the training pitch on Friday morning for one final brush up before the Etihad clash.
