Kyle Walker insists Manchester City’s remarkable run of form is down to the club maintaining high standards, rather than luck.
Much has been made of City’s perceived good fortune this season, with rivals bemoaning the supposedly favourable hand they were dealt with Covid-19 postponements and injuries.
Pep Guardiola’s side hold an 11-point advantage at the top of the table after beating Chelsea last weekend, and many have already declared the title race over with City looking unstoppable amid their 12-game winning streak.
Walker though insists it isn’t just luck that has seen his side dominate once again in the Premier League, with the Blues once again setting the standards for their rivals to follow.
“We just seem to go on a run when people seem to drop points,” Walker told the club’s website.
“Some people call it luck, but I don’t think you can have luck this many times throughout the number of seasons that I have been here.
“I feel it is the standards that we set ourselves as a team. We make sure that in each game we go out there and the minimum that we want is the three points.
“I have never been in a team where when we draw a game, the training ground for the next couple of days is down. That is the
“When we do draw or when we do drop points, it is not acceptable because we know we can do better and we want to achieve those three points.”
City could extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 14 points this afternoon as they take on Southampton, with both Liverpool and Chelsea playing on Sunday.
And with Guardiola’s side still in the hunt for the FA Cup and Champions League, it could well be another trophy-laden season for the Blues.
