City were put through our paces at the Etihad Stadium ahead of Saturday’s Manchester derby.

Kick-off in our Barclays Women’s Super League clash is set for 12:30 (UK) as Gareth Taylor’s side aim to maintain local bragging rights.

Having already beaten Manchester United in both the reverse WSL fixture and in the Continental Cup this season, City are aiming for a hat-trick of victories against our cross-city rivals.

However, three points would also provide a major boost to our title ambitions, with only goal difference currently separating us from the league summit ahead of kick-off.

It all points towards another exciting encounter at the Etihad, with a bumper crowd expected as City set our sights on an 11th WSL win in a row.

Ahead of Saturday’s showdown, the players made the short journey over to the Etihad to conduct our latest training session.

Despite the rain, plenty of smiles were on show as we continue to build up for this weekend’s fixture.
