With a massive fixture against Everton coming up on Saturday, the next week could be seen as Manchester City's biggest test of the season.
But some of their biggest stars faced a completely different type of test today, when a group of doping control officers arrived at their Carrington training ground.
Yaya Toure, David Silva, Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero were among the leading players who were seen leaving the training pitch with officials to undergo random drugs tests.

A team of the drug officials turned up half-way through training, before escorting some of City's most high-profile players from the field.
