Manchester City defender John Stones has no problem fighting for a place in manager Pep Guardiola's starting XI.
Victory over Fulham saw Stones selected to start for the third time in the last four game.
The England defender says that if the team are challenging each other to start, it's only good for the Club.
“It's always the same (competition for places)," he said. “he manager demands a lot from us and expects a lot from us.
“When there's a chance, we've got to take it. It's a healthy competition. We know what's expected of us. If we don't deliver then we know someone else is fighting for that spot.
“That's served us well over recent years. Everyone has high standards and keeps them there and that's what the manager wants.
“We're happy with the three points today. It's another step forward, another chance to put a mark on this season.
“We take it game by game and see where it takes us. We focus on each game.
“I could say before the game everyone's words worked and that transpired onto the pitch.
“We've got to keep this winning mentality going in every game we play."
