City sharpened up for the FA Cup at a chilly CFA...

We travel down to the south coast to face AFC Bournemouth on Sunday 18 January, with kick-off set for 13:00 (UK).

It’s our first FA Cup assignment of the season, with a spot in the fifth round up for grabs.

City come into the tie as strong favourites but face a Bournemouth side brimming with confidence and yet to taste defeat this season.

The Blues know we’ll need to be at our best to avoid an upset, and training hit a typically high intensity at the CFA with that in mind.

Among the team was new signing Sam Coffey, taking part in her first training session since joining from Portland Thorns.

The US international has signed on a deal until the summer of 2029 and moves to Manchester with a reputation as one of the finest midfielders in world football.

She immediately got up to speed with her new team-mates in a number of small-sided exercises, with plenty of smiles on show in between the drills.
