But Kompany insists: "I do look for any opportunity to do something special whenever I can and we still have 10 games left of the season, that's an opportunity to do something special there.
"We experienced something last season and there is no reason whatsoever as to why we can't do something like that again. Why not?
"I can't sit here and say the lads haven't come close (to getting results). We've been on the wrong end of results here and there, but these types of situations can change.
"Misfortune can turn and we just have to do everything we can that this weekend can be the turning point."
Kompany added, "There's no fresh injury concerns for us but maybe a few positive surprises. Most players are close to returning apart from the long-term ones and hopefully the international break can help us bring a few more players back for the final games."
