Ruben Dias has noticed a shift in mentality in the Manchester City dressing room as they approach the business end of the season.
City started the season well, but then struggled for consistency throughout Autumn to find themselves six points behind leaders Arsenal as they went to Saudi Arabia to win the Club World Cup.
However, a draw between Arsenal and Liverpool ensured City weren't as far adrift as they could have been, with Arsenal losing two games in a row over Christmas to see Liverpool go top instead.
Liverpool are five points ahead of City, but have played a game more, to put the title back within the Blues' hands. City also have Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, John Stones and Jeremy Doku to return and a favourable run throughout January to work on the training ground.
