Bernardo Silva has insisted that for Manchester City to be successful it is vital they “concede as few goals” as they can.
Man City are on a scintillating run of form at the moment having won 19 straight games in all competitions.
This winning streak has placed them as clear favourites to win the Premier League this season.

Man City’s defence has been particularly impressive this term, especially the partnership of Ruben Dias and John Stones. They have only conceded 15 times in the Premier League from 25 games.
Speaking via the club’s official website, Silva claimed that having a solid defence and team as a whole is always vital:
“It is the key to winning competitions; to have a solid defence, a solid team that doesn’t concede many chances or goals.
“We are happy with how solid our defenders, goalkeeper and midfielders are and everyone helps from the striker to the goalkeeper.
“It is very important to be solid and try and concede as few goals as you can if you want to be successful.
“We don’t have much time to prepare but it has been like this since the last six or eight months.
“We are used to it and we know how tough it is. There are four competitions to play, we need to be 100% in all of them and now we have three days to prepare for West Ham in the Premier League and we are going to get ready.
“It is 19 games winning in all competitions so we have got to keep this momentum as long as we can.
“We know how tough the next few games are going to be, but we are half way through to making a good season to try to win some titles and we have to keep working a lot because it is going to be tough.”
