Training: Our attention turns to AEK Athens

View the best images as City shift focus to prepare for our latest Champions League outing.

After Saturday’s entertaining 3-2 Premier League win over Ipswich Town, it’s been a quick turnaround for the Blues who are now fully focused on our midweek clash.

Enzo Maresca’s side welcome AEK Athens to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday 20 October, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK).

City will be looking to return to winning ways in the UEFA Champions League following an enthralling 4-2 defeat to holders Paris Saint-Germain the week prior.
