Daily Mail | September 22, 2016

Manchester City are readying themselves for the unusual challenge of facing the same opposition for the second time in a week.

After their 2-1 EFL Cup victory over the Swans, Pep Guardiola's men remain in Wales and were pictured training at Dragon Park, Newport ahead of their Premier League clash.

The squad are staying in the prestigious five-star Celtic Manor hotel after City management decided a 460-mile round trip to face the same opposition was out of the question.
