View the best images from training as City added the finishing touches to our Arsenal preparations...

Andrée Jeglertz’s side welcome the Gunners to the Joie Stadium on Saturday 4 October, with kick-off scheduled for 12:00 (UK). 

It represents the first heavyweight bout between the teams in 2025/26 and we enter the fixture in third place, one point and two positions above the north London outfit. 

However, we know we’ll have to be at our very best to extend our winning streak to five straight matches in all competitions this weekend against the reigning European champions. 

With that in mind, our meticulous hard work continued at the City Football Academy on Friday as matchday closed in. 

Take a look at a selection of images from the session via the gallery below...
