Nico González, who has a chance to top the standings: It's hard to imagine we're in this position.

Another crucial match in the 33rd round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will take place, with Guardiola's Manchester City traveling to Burnley. Nico González, in an interview, stated that the team now has a chance to top the league table, and it's hard to imagine the "Citizens" being in such a position.

In the previous round's key match, Manchester City secured a 2-1 victory at home against Arsenal, thanks to goals from Rajon Scherki and Erling Haaland. With three wins and two draws in their last five matches, Manchester City currently sits in second place in the standings with 67 points, three points behind leaders Arsenal with one game in hand.

Manchester City midfielder Nico González, 24, said: "Now it all depends on ourselves. A few weeks ago, it was hard to imagine that we would be in this position. If someone had told us at the start of the season that we had a chance to be in first place with five games left, we would all have accepted it without hesitation."

“We can see the goal is in front of us, but we must focus on the Burnley game. We’ll see what happens next and take it one game at a time. It will be a great competition that goes on until the very end, and I have a lot of faith in my teammates and I’m happy to see us in this position.”

Looking back at their encounters this season, Manchester City, after two own goals and goals from Nunes and Haaland, ultimately defeated Burnley 5-1 at home. It's worth noting that Burnley currently sits in 19th place with 20 points, so Scott Parker's team will certainly not miss the opportunity to grab points at home.

Nico González continued, "It will be a very tough game, especially playing away from home, and I'm pretty sure they'll give it their all. Every game in the Premier League is very difficult, and we have to focus on ourselves."

"The important thing now is to continue the performance we've shown in recent games. If we keep working hard to maintain our current level, we have a great chance to win the game."
