Chance to go top is perfect title incentive, says Nico

“It’s amazing – we can see it’s close, but we have to focus on Burnley.

“We will see what happens and take it game by game.

“We are really happy about the job we are doing. It is 50/50.

“It’s going to be a nice race until the end. I really trust my team and I’m happy we are in this position.”

Whilst City have the incentive of seeking to rise to the summit, Burnley know defeat would condemn them to relegation, 12 months after their return to the topflight.

But with Scott Parker’s side fighting to avoid the drop, Nico says City are braced for the toughest of tests in East Lancashire.

“It’s going to be a really hard match – especially playing away – I’m pretty sure they [Burnley] will give everything,” Nico added.

“It’s always really hard in the Premier League. We have to focus on ourselves.

“It’s important we do the same things as we have been doing the last few games.

“If we keep working hard and playing as well as we have been doing, we have a really good chance to win.”
