Manchester City defender John Stones has no doubts about the motivation levels of his teammates.
From everything Stones has seen in the last few weeks - and against Arsenal - the hunger remains after last season's title triumph.
"Everyone in the dressing room, even the young lads, will put their body on the line and buy into this winning culture," said Stones, who is well aware that no team has defended the title since Manchester United made it three straight titles in 2009.
"It's special to be part of it. Retaining the title is what we want to do. We would love to win it back-to-back but, obviously, it's still early doors.
"It's a long season with a lot of competitions. But that's what we have to set as a standard. Do everything again — and more."
