Pep Guardiola dismissed fears of complacency after Manchester City set a new Premier League record of 15 consecutive top-flight wins after their battle with Swansea City on Wednesday.

Two goals from David Silva, a Kevin De Bruyne free-kick and a superb late strike from Sergio Aguero secured a 4-0 win in a game that City dominated from start to finish.

Victory maintains their 11-point lead over Manchester United at the Premier League summit – a gap they opened up by beating their fierce rivals 2-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Blues are firmly on course to record the most points ever in a Premier League season, and ominously for their rivals, Guardiola is confident that his side will not falter.

When asked if complacency could kick in, the Spaniard told Match of the Day: ‘That is not going to happen.

‘We are so demanding of our players. We can lose, we can drop points, but complacency never happened in the past, the present or the future.

‘Winning 15 games in a row gives us a lot of confidence. If people are happy watching us, that is the best gift.’
