Ruben Dias believes Manchester City's slump simply reveals how much other teams want to beat them - and that it gives more meaning to their successes.

City are on a run of four consecutive defeats for the first time since 2006 and are five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool after losing 2-1 at Brighton.

Pep Guardiola's champions play Tottenham, Liverpool, and high-flying Nottingham Forest in their initial burst of fixtures after the international break and that run could prove pivotal for a side plagued with injuries.
