The best images from our latest session at the City Football Academy as we prepare for an FA Cup last eight clash with Aston Villa...

City travel to the Bescot Stadium on Sunday 19 March, with kick-off scheduled for 18:00 (UK).

We enter the tie in impressive form, having lost just once in all competitions since September, with 18 wins in our last 21 matches.

However, the Villans boast an equally impressive hot streak, having lost just once in 2023.
