Call for Man City to keep focused

KELECHI Iheanacho has urged Manchester City to maintain their focus as the Premier League leaders bid to end a run of frustrating results.

City started the season with 10 straight wins under new manager Pep Guardiola.

But their 1-1 draw with Southampton at Eastlands on Sunday means that City, top of the table on goal difference, have now gone five games without a victory.

It is a run they will look to snap when they face home rivals Manchester United in the fourth round of the League Cup at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Iheanacho said: “Teams drop points in the Premier League, we dropped points as well.”

By drawing with the Saints, City did at least avoid two successive defeats after their midweek 4-0 loss away to Barcelona in the Champions League. – AFP
