Yet another taxing week lies in store and Ilkay Gundogan is introspective about it all.
Manchester City are aiming to secure a fourth Premier League title in five years – silverware that is becoming the norm.
'Look, even we lose sight of that. Even myself sometimes, I lose sight of it,' Gundogan says.
'Especially after last Wednesday. But it would be an outstanding achievement, dominating for those years would be incredible. If we lose a game, we are in trouble.'
City require a couple of wins and a draw to make absolutely sure of pipping Liverpool, with the pair having traded titles over the last two years.
