Manchester City attacker Kevin de Bruyne insists it's too soon to talk titles after victory over Aston Villa.

With league leaders Liverpool in action on Sunday afternoon, City closed the gap atop the Premier League table if only temporarily but De Bruyne dismissed suggestions of early advantages in the title race.

There's no point worrying," he said. There are so many games plus the Champions League and the cups.

People will say that if City or Liverpool play, we will win but that's not how it goes.

It is different to two years ago when we were ten points ahead and you know you can make a mistake; but sometimes, it is better to be behind or close. You keep focused.

A lot of teams have a lot of quality. It's not a given that we will win but we will try to do our job.

We have to keep going on Tuesday (against Southampton in the Carabao Cup).

It's so difficult but that goes for another 40, 50 games for the season. It's so long.

Since the international break, we have won three in a row so let's keep going."
