Kun Agüero has warned City’s rivals that the Citizens can call on their title-winning mentality of 2012 in this season’s run-in. City face Liverpool in a mouth-watering encounter on 13 April which could decide the title’s destination this season.
Agüero believes his fellow team-mates from their title triumph in 2012 can ultilise that previous experience amid a tense finish.
"It does help City’s mental readiness, but it’s not just that game. The more you play, the more experienced you become,” Agüero told FourFourTwo.
"You must learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
"Obviously no one expects to be level on points going into the last game of the season, but we know we have the mentality to repeat 2012.”
After the Southampton game, City travel Anfield on April 13 and he added: "Chelsea and Liverpool have been the best teams we've faced this season. Chelsea, both home and away, were tough matches. Liverpool were a good side, too, and the game at Anfield in April will be huge.
"Any game in the Premier League is difficult, especially away from home. It's all about doing things in the right way."
