    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    De Bruyne repeated his belief that he still has something to offer City, having previously admitted to feeling let down by Pep Guardiola and sporting director Txiki Begiristain's decision to resist extending his contract with the club where he has spent the last decade.

    "I don't know what the future will be, but I know that I can still play here," he added.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    City have won four Premier League games in a row for the first time since the start of the season and are on course to end their toughest season under Guardiola on a high. They are now three points behind Arsenal in second place and have the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace to look forward to.

    De Bruyne added: "I am still enjoying it, and we still have a job to do. It was a hard game today but we found the way to win. Now we can just relax a bit and see what the other teams do this weekend. It has been tough year but we are finding a bit of a groove. We are winning the games that we need to so let's hope we can end the season like that."
