Yaya Toure is seeking back-to-back wins for Manchester City this week.
Toure is well aware of the importance of the next seven days to the club.
Toure told the club's website: "It is a really important week for us, and a tough week as well because United are a tough team and then a couple of days after we have Chelsea - an amazing game.
"We will continue to fight for the Premier League. We have to continue to work hard although we know it is going to be difficult."
