Raheem Sterling has urged his Manchester City team-mates to focus on their own performances and not to worry about their Premier League title rivals.
City currently sit third in the league, three points behind top-of-the-table Arsenal and one point behind second-placed Leicester City.
But midfielder Sterling is more concerned with his own side rather than the others as City bid for a third league crown in five seasons.

Sterling told mcfc.co.uk: 'We just need to focus on what we need to do to win the Premier League and not worry about other teams and what they’re doing.
'That way, we don’t let anything affect our thinking and purely focus on our own performance.
'We’ve played a lot of away games over the past fortnight so we’re looking forward to playing in front of our own fans again on Wednesday.'
City will hope to earn six points in four days this week as Manuel Pellegrini's side host Everton on Wednesday and then Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Sterling said: 'I think you always need to make sure you’re hard to beat at home.
'Away from home you need to make sure you win the difficult nights away at Stoke and places like that because those are the games where you can slip-up and the dropped points all add up and can cost you at the end of the season.
'We didn’t win away for quite a few games on the bounce but we’ve been improving and hopefully that will continue to improve as we go along.'
