With emphatic victories over Liverpool and Chelsea in the last two weeks since March’s Carabao Cup final defeat of Arsenal, Pep Guardiola and his players will be full of confidence.

And we know the importance of a strong showing this weekend, with three points against Mikel Arteta’s team almost essential in the hunt for another Premier League title.

As always, they’ve been hard at work on the training pitch and in the gym this week to ensure they’re in perfect condition for the challenge.

Take a look at the best photos from Friday’s session...
