Training: Sharpening up for the Cup! | OneFootball

The best images from our final session ahead of City's League Cup semi-final with Chelsea.

We welcome the Londoners to the Joie Stadium on Wednesday 21 January, with kick-off set for 19:00 (UK).

A place in the final against either Arsenal or Manchester United awaits the victors, in what is a rerun of last season’s showpiece at Pride Park.

Chelsea ran out 2-1 winners on that occasion, so City will be keen to put things right in this year’s competition and take another step towards what would be our first silverware since 2022.
