City captain Vincent Kompany says that his side are "very calm" after putting themselves in the driving seat for the Premier League title. City watched on as leaders Liverpool suffered an untimely slip-up at home to Chelsea, allowing them to close to within three points of the summit with a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace.

As they still hold a game in hand on those above them, and boast a superior goal difference, City know three more wins will see them come out on top.

Kompany told ESPN "We're ready for it," Kompany said. "We are the team in the league that can't ever give up - especially after the year we won it. You would be crazy to think it is over, but obviously we did our job. It's in our own hands and you can't do more than that.
"We did what we had to do. It is difficult to predict the outcome of this league. There have been so many swaps and changes over the season but we are still very calm.
"We just kept our heads down. We knew we didn't play too well and had to change it - the last two games have been good."

"Ultimately it's about the last straight and we seem to pick it up at the right time."
