Gabriel Jesus insists he is happy with Manchester City's start to the Premier League season.

The striker admits Chelsea and Liverpool have had a strong start themselves but that the Citizens are on the same path as last term.

"We have the same points as this time last season," Jesus said. "Our opponents have more points than then, Chelsea had dropped points and Liverpool a few.

"We want to be at our best level, but I am so surprised at what happened last season. You never know how you're going to react when coming back in terms of consistency.

"We beat Chelsea in the Community Shield and in general in the four games we were better than the four teams. That's what we are looking for - to be better.

"We will improve. It's impossible after the World Cup mentally for the players to be in the best condition, the best approach."
