Manchester City players are in no mood to lift any trophies just yet, despite taking huge steps towards a historic treble in the last week.
City progressed to the Champions League semi-finals and the FA Cup final last week, before beating Arsenal to take control of the title race in the Premier League. Wednesday's win means they are two points behind the leaders with two games in hand, and can now afford to lose one of their remaining seven fixtures and still win the title.
Pep Guardiola categorised the win over Arsenal as 'important, not decisive', but did concede he would take his own side's position in the title race over Arsenal's for the first time this season. That is a message replicated in the dressing room, as defender Kyle Walker insisted there is still plenty to play for this season.

"It’s a great result but it’s definitely not done," Walker said. "We did what we needed to do which was to get the three points. The game at the Emirates was different to what it was today. We tweaked a few things, and we looked professional – we did the job that was needed. You can understand the tension. You worked so hard all year to receive the prize at the end. Both teams are fighting for it.
"Arsenal have been fantastic this season and deserve to be where they are – they still sit at the top of the table, so we still need to catch them.
"It’s a good position [to be in]. A couple of months back we weren’t in this position, so we have to take that. We’ve done something good tonight, but we have to keep going and keep this momentum going. Hopefully, we can achieve some great things."
