Kevin De Bruyne has insisted Manchester City won't go down without a fight as they chase their record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Admitting they face competition from Arsenal and a few others, De Bruyne told Standard Sport: "There are so many teams there.
"Liverpool and Arsenal are there with us, but I’d say even [Aston] Villa and Tottenham are close. We will be fighting with five for the moment.
"There’s a little pressure anyway to do well, but there’s no point looking at what’s going to happen in two months.
"We need to win games now and try to enjoy it. We know what we need to do. The pressure is always there, but we’re ready to fight again until the end."
Only two points separate leaders Liverpool and Arsenal; Man City are also level on points with the Gunners. However, they are in second place because of a higher goal difference.
The race is heating up and Arsenal desperately need to make this season count after falling heartbreakingly short towards the end of 2022/23.
The fact that the Gunners are being hailed in the same category as the Premier League elite is a testament to Mikel Arteta's progress over the years.
