Patrick Vieira has urged his Manchester City teammates to stop bickering so they can get on with the job at hand.
The French midfielder believes City are capable of taking the title this season but only if the in-house fighting amongst the club's stars comes to a halt.
"We have got character in our team - Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor, Yaya Toure, Shaun Wright-Phillips," said the former Arsenal captain.
"That's why I'm not worried at all because everybody is here because we all have the same objective and that is to win the Premiership.
"And the only way we can win is by being altogether and we understand that.
"It's a difficult period because from the outside, everybody is trying to create this negativity around the football club. That happened when I was at Arsenal and Inter Milan.
"What's really important now that as a football club and a team, we are really strong together, believe in ourselves and go out and win games because by winning games, we will keep peace."
