Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez admits that every game this season is now a cup final for his side.
Following, Manchester United's 4-0 win over Norwich City, Roberto Mancini's side are 15 points behind the Red Devils with only 11 games left in the campaign.
Tevez told the club's official website: "I think that what we have left is 11 cup finals. There is not long between now and the rest of the season and we must win - we have to win.
"It is very important that we stay strong - both mentally and physically - going into each of the remaining games."
City travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa on Monday.
