Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta firmly believes that the Citizens are more than capable of closing the gap on Leicester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Following consecutive defeats against direct title rivals Leicester and Tottenham Hotspur, City find themselves a sizeable nine points off of top spot in the Premier League table and many feel that the Citizens will now find it very difficult to win the title.
Defender Zabaleta is not too concerned regarding the margin though and has stated his belief that City, on the back of Sunday's Capital One Cup triumph, have more than enough time and prior experience to reduce the deficit at the top.
The Argentinean said: "There are still 36 points to play for in the Premier League, which is a lot of games. We were in this situation before, a few years ago.
"When we won the league that we were about eight points behind the leaders, and we still have a game in hand.
"It's time now to focus on the Premier League and try to win on Wednesday. We are Manchester City, we have talent and big players to try to recover those points that we lost against Leicester and Spurs. They both won their games this weekend, and are two good teams.
"We cannot forget Arsenal, and United have won so they're just three points behind. It's going to be very tough. Everything is very tight at the top of the table, and it just depends on us."
