Ilkay Gundogan has warned champions Chelsea that Manchester City are set for them this weekend.
Midfielder Gundogan, 26, said: “It’s a huge game and it’s away, so it’s even more difficult, but we feel ready.
“If you ask the manager there is always something to improve but we know that we are a great team, we have great players and it’s just up to us to prove that every fourth day.
“It’s also about character, going to Stamford Bridge against the champions to play our game.
“We’re going to prove that we are ready for that and hopefully it will be a great game for us.”
“At the back too we have conceded few, so our defence has also done a great job in the last weeks. It’s a combination of both and that’s a really good recipe to win games.”
“I’m just happy that I returned that quick after that hard tackle. I tried to train on the Friday and I still felt a little bit in my knee.
“Saturday it was not possible to be in the squad but I trained Sunday and Monday and I felt good, so I’m just happy to return that quickly.”
