Pep Guardiola has highlighted the importance of the mindset of his players after a tenth consecutive Premier League victory on Saturday.

Two goals from Ilkay Gundogan earned us a 2-1 win over Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, at that time taking us four points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal.

Guardiola‘s side are also in contention for Champions League and FA Cup honours, with a two-legged European semi-final against Real Madrid to start on Tuesday night and a Wembley date with Manchester United already set up for 3 June.

Another Premier League success this campaign would make it five titles in six seasons for City, meaning the title race is familiar ground for Guardiola and his players.

Asked if he can see traits this season that match those of recent triumphant campaigns, Guardiola said: “Quite similar. The mindset of the team is there.

“Already two months ago, three months ago we have to win, win and win. And they did it again. 10 in a row at this time is nice. That helps us be in the position we are.

“When we beat Arsenal our destiny was in our hands. We did it against Fulham, we did it against West Ham and now Leeds. This is what is important.”
