Gallery: Back to work after Chelsea victory

Pep Guardiola's side were in high spirits at training earlier today after last night's Premier League victory over Chelsea.

After arriving late and staying at the City Football Academy overnight, it was straight into another session in the bright, chilly Manchester air for our players on Friday.

The Blues registered a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge last night thanks to a Riyad Mahrez strike just after the hour.
