Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has warned his players they risk blowing their title push.
City could find themselves 11 points behind champions and Premier League leaders Liverpool by the time Guardiola's side kick-off at Southampton on Saturday.
“We know we have to start to win games and games," said Guardiola, whose side have lost two and drawn five of their 12 league games.
“If not, it will not be possible. We know it. But it's not about the distance.
“It's about what Liverpool is able to do, what Tottenham, what Southampton can do - there are eight teams in front of us.
“We have a game less, but you have to win it. Maybe we have played this game less, but we are not able to win it.
“So we have to start to win games in a row, to be there at the end, or it will not be possible."
