Manchester City stars have travelled to London ahead of their weekend Premier League title clash against Chelsea with Pep Guardiola spotted as he lead his men through the central Piccadilly station.

Having conducted a final training session at their Etihad headquarters earlier in the day, the Spaniard and his band of first-team coaches guided the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling to the capital.

Guardiola can be seen conversing with coaches Mikel Arteta and Brian Kidd while the rest of the squad appeared to be keeping themselves to the themselves with John Stones tuning into his music.

The players looked focused as they prepared for what will be the first true test of their title credentials at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea still very much in the running to defend their crown.


And the absence of Sergio Aguero only makes life harder for Guardiola's men. The Argentine is set for a long spell out after being involved in a car crash in Amsterdam late on Thursday.

Aguero is believed to have suffered two fractured ribs when the taxi he was travelling in skidded and crashed into a lamppost on De Boelelaan in the city centre.

Guardiola must also plan for life without £52m summer signing Benjamin Mendy, who was in Barcelona on Friday to undergo surgery on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, possibly ending his debut season.

On the bright side, there was still hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent wandering through Manchester Piccaddily Station with De Bruyne, Sterling and Gabriel costing a combined £137million to bring in alone.
