admin Jeremy Doku says City’s game-by-game philosophy is key to this vital stage of the season.
The Blues continue to fight on three fronts with the finishing line to a thrilling campaign now firmly in view.
With a pivotal week of games to come, City take on Luton in the Premier League, Real Madrid in the Champions League and then Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final.
Doku, however, says looking any further than Saturday’s clash with Luton at 15:00 (UK) would be a mistake.
“We just want to win everything, win every game and we will see where we end up,” says the Belgian winger.
“Tһіѕ teам һаѕ tһe һіgһeѕt ѕtаndаrdѕ, аnd we jᴜѕt wаnt to wіn eʋerу gамe аnd tһen we wіll look wһere we аre аt tһe end of tһe ѕeаѕon.
