Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says the players aren’t getting carried away after victory over Arsenal.
City will go top if they beat Fulham on Sunday.
Guardiola said: “It is normal; nothing special. We did a recovery session, then it is a day off today.
“We are preparing for Fulham, to see what they do. Their pattern is clear because they’ve been together a few years. I’m only concerned about that. It is normal we have so many games with so many competitions, but winning games helps to be ready and we have another opportunity on Sunday.
“Fulham are exceptional; Aleksandar Mitrovic is an important player and he is unavailable but they are a well organised team. We need to be intense and aggressive.
“People are saying it is over; it is not. It will be over when it is over, but it is not over. We have seven games; I saw the first 20 minutes at Goodison Park, how good [Everton] were [against Newcastle]. We are in games where everyone is fighting for something.
“I saw what happened when we won at the Emirates and everyone said we would catch Arsenal, then we drew at Nottingham Forest. Fulham have a special stadium and an organised team. We will take nothing for granted. There are seven games left; it is not 20 games, but seven games is seven games.”
He added: “If we were third in the league, 10 points behind a hypothetical leader, I would still trust my players. That does not depend on results.
“After seven years together, it doesn’t depend on the results. We have good momentum; the feeling is good but we have to prove it again.”
