Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure says his side will do their best to collect six points in their next two Premier League fixtures against Arsenal and Chelsea.

The Blues are currently placed third in the Premier League standings with 57 points, having won 17 out of 28 matches played so far this season.

Toure says his side are preparing well for the upcoming fixtures against Arsenal and Chelsea and he insists that they are targeting all six points in the hopes of closing the gap at the top of the league standings.

‘We have to prepare now for the next game,’ Toure told the Manchester City website.

‘[In the international break] I will breathe, sleep, run a little bit, be good – because Arsenal and Chelsea are massive games and we have an opportunity if we want to finish in the top four.

‘What we have to do when we come back is get these six points and try to do our best because we know it’s gonna be tough.’

The 33-year-old says playing Arsenal and Chelsea away could play to their advantage, having already won 10 out of 14 Premier League matches away from home this season.

‘It suits us because the opponent is gonna attack us. That’s what we want. We are delighted when a team tries to attack us,’ He added.

‘You can see how few teams try to attack us, even when we play at home. When you see players like [Leroy] Sane and Raheem [Sterling], they need space and playing away is always brilliant for us.

‘But we’re gonna see because Chelsea are very good but in football, anything can happen.’

Manchester City will now go head-to-head with Arsenal when the two sides meet in the Premier League on Sunday.

The match at the Emirates Stadium kicks off at 17:00.
