Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes they must go higher than last season in terms of points if they're to win the Premier League title.
Last season, City's 86 points was enough to be crowned champions, with Manchester United 12 points behind and Liverpool 17 points adrift.
However, the previous three seasons saw the eventual champions post much higher figures.
“Yeah, the champions will need to win a lot of games for sure, maybe 90 (points) or over," said Guardiola.
"I said last week, on the runs we have done (in past seasons), I have never thought about what we should need when we started.
“We won the last games in the Premier League, but the only important thing is 'what's next?' It's Wolves, close to the top right now, so this one and after, Tuesday against Leeds.
“Don't think about more than that. It is confusing to think about long runs.
“When you start to think about that you are going to drop points and lose games. Thinking about the next one is the most important thing."
Asked if an arrogance or presumption of success within his team could ever be a danger at any stage he replied: “We don't have that feeling. We behave completely the opposite.
“To sustain the titles that we have done in the last years, you don't do that. We are completely the opposite."
