Check out images as City prepared for the start of the 2026/27 Premier League season.
The Blues are in action on Sunday with AFC Bournemouth heading to Manchester for a 14:00 (UK) kick-off at the Etihad.
It’s always a special moment when a new campaign begins, especially on home soil.
But it’ll be extra special this time around with Enzo Maresca making his bow as boss following 10 years of Pep Guardiola.
Maresca was working his players on the eve of the game at the CFA as he looks to get his top-flight term off to a winning start.
You can look through the best of our photographs from training below.
