Manchester City are back in the groove, insists Fernandinho
Manchester City are brimming with confidence and are determined to record a fourth successive victory to keep the pressure on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League, said midfielder Fernandinho.
The reigning champions have moved to within six points of Jose Mourinho's leaders as they begin to discover a consistency they struggled to find in the early stages of the season.
City went second in the table with a 3-0 victory over Southampton, who were previously unbeaten at home, last weekend and Brazilian Fernandinho believes that result can serve as a statement of intent from Manuel Pellegrini's team.
From now until the end of the season I think you will see a different Manchester City
"This is a new time for us, and from now until the end of the season I think you will see a different Manchester City," said Fernandinho ahead of Wednesday's trip to Sunderland.
"We didn't start very well but now we're playing much better. Now we need to keep at this quality for the whole year.
"This win was also a very important victory because this week has been quite tough for us, and this title fight is massive. When you win against a team that is above you, it is much better," he added, with City leapfrogging Southampton into second place.
