Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart believes that City are in a strong position to challenge for the title despite playing well below their usual standards.

Following the draw with Leicester City on Tuesday night, the Citizens now sit three points behind league leaders Arsenal and the Foxes with one half of the season remaining.

Hart said: "It's a game we could and should have won but we didn't. Kasper Schmeichel did well and made a few good saves but we maybe should have done better with the chances we had.

"We're not where we should be right now in the table, but we're right in the mix without really playing that well.

"We started the season strongly but we've not been great over the last 12 games or so but we're in a good position and the two teams above us deserve to be there."
