Man City squad fly to Bournemouth using the same aircraft that Leicester used for a 14 minute flight to Manchester about an hour earlier

Pep Guardiola's men refuse to take the traditional form of transport for the journey down to the south coast

PEP GUARDIOLA and his squad appeared in high spirits as they boarded a plane to fly to Bournemouth for Saturday's Premier League fixture.

It is in fact the same plane that Leicester City boarded just an hour before for their 14 minute trip down to Manchester.

Pep Guardiola's side will be travelling in style down to the south coast for the Premier League meeting at Dean Court.

Had the City squad travelled by coach, the journey was expected to take around five hours.

The Citizens squad boarded the plan just an hour after Leicester City used it for a questionable 14 minute journey to Manchester.

Man City head into the clash on the back of a 1-1 draw with Everton at the start of the week, but this does not appear to have dampened Guardiola's spirits.

He is laughing and joking with the team as he boards the plane with a small hand luggage suitcase.

Benjamin Mendy has been named in Guardiola's squad for the first time following his £49million summer switch.

The Frenchman has already hit the headlines in Manchester City after he left his Ferrari in a taxi rank, whilst he went to pick up a Nando's.

Kyle Walker remains out for the Blues due to a suspension.

The Manchester City squad can be seen boarding the plane in their squad tracksuits.

The Citizens will be hoping for a straight-forward win on Saturday against a Bournemouth side that is yet to score in the new campaign.
