Remember our close title fights, Vincent Kompany tells Manchester City
• ‘We had to win every game and we had five games to play’
• Champions sit two points behind Liverpool with game in hand
Vincent Kompany believes Manchester City must draw on their experiences of close-fought title victories in 2012 and 2014 if they are to hold off Liverpool’s challenge this season.
The Belgium defender made only his ninth Premier League start of the season in the 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday which maintained City’s chances of winning an unprecedented quadruple of trophies. Pep Guardiola’s side remain two points behind Liverpool but have a game in hand, although they face a tough task to overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg when they meet Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday night.
