Bernardo Silva says Manchester City have put the pressure on title rivals Liverpool and Tottenham.
Manchester City are back on top of the Premier League after edging ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.
The Reds still have a game in hand, but have dropped points from two of their last three games.
Bernardo Silva told The Guardian that he is pleased with City’s midweek win over Everton.
The £43 million signing from Monaco is also counting Tottenham as title contenders, and believes City have made life tough for their rivals.
Silva said: “This win puts a bit of pressure on, not just for Liverpool but for Tottenham as well.
“We have another game on Sunday and we don’t have a lot of time to rest. But that is good. We are still in four competitions, we are still fighting for all of them. That is what we want to do until the end of the season.”
City have the advantage over Liverpool and Spurs because they have been there and won the Premier League before.
This could help in the title run in, with Liverpool and Tottenham more susceptible to nerves.
Liverpool host Bournemouth this weekend while Tottenham host Leicester. Manchester City host Chelsea on Sunday.
