Manchester City left-back Gael Clichy believes that his team will have to win on a consistent basis if they want to build pressure on the chasing pack.

City are currently top of the Premier League on goal difference and are set to face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in their next game on Saturday.

Clichy said: "The main priority is to win things, so this game against Liverpool is a massive one.

"If we want to stay on top with Arsenal pushing behind really close, we have to keep on winning. It's a good thing to come back from national teams and play at home, but it's going to be a long season."

Arsenal are level on points with City while Leicester City and Manchester United are one and two points in arrears respectively.
