Kalvin Phillips admits the Manchester City players have always known they were capable of compiling their current winning run to close the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
After winning 3-1 at home to Leicester City, Pep Guardiola's side have now won ten straight matches across all competitions, including their last six in the league, to reduce the gap between themselves and the Premier League leaders to just three points before Arsenal are in action against West Ham United.
Regardless of the result in Sunday's London derby, City still have a game in hand over Mikel Arteta's team and meet them in Manchester later this month for a potential title decider.
