Chelsea and Manchester City wear near-identical £185 Nike training kits

FOOTBALL fans are known for their tribal nature – it’s what makes one club’s support distinct from the other.

But tell that to Manchester City and Chelsea fans, who have been given almost IDENTICAL training kits.

The Nike attire, made specifically for training sessions at their training grounds, appears to be pretty much identical, bar the badge.

And Chelsea fans will be pleased to know, their attire costs less than City’s – by 5p.

The Nike AeroSwift Strike Drill tops have slightly different shades of blue, but fans of the Premier League champions will note the shade looks closer to City’s sky blue than their royal blue.

Pep Guardiola’s side face Shakhtar Donetsk tonight in the Champions League after getting off to a winning start against Feyenoord as they romped to a 4-0 win.

Meanwhile Chelsea travel to the new Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid to face Atletico, who are set to sign Blues striker Diego Costa.

The forward, 28, has told to stay away from the Blues’ training ground while on exile from the club.

The Blues smashed six past Qarabag in the opening game at Stamford Bridge as Davide Zappacosta smashed a spectacular opener past the Azerbaijani side.

Antonio Conte’s players looked relaxed as they trained in Cobham ahead of their crunch game with Atleti.
