Here are your latest Manchester City evening headlines on Sunday, April 16. Kalvin Phillips says the Manchester City players have always known they were capable of compiling their current winning run to close the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

Regardless of the result in Sunday's London derby, City still have a game in hand over Mikel Arteta's team and meet them in Manchester later this month for a potential title decider.

Read the full story, here Mikel Arteta has challenged his Arsenal players to become serial winners as they continue competing with Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

The north London club won the FA Cup during the Spaniard's first season in charge, beating his former employers City at the semi-final stage, and subsequently lifted the Community Shield, winning a penalty shootout against Liverpool, to start the next campaign, but have gone consecutive seasons without silverware since then.

A first Premier League title in 19 years would be an emphatic way of ending both droughts. Arteta topped the table twice while one of Pep Guardiola's assistant managers in east Manchester but lack players who have done similar in the squad aside from Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who were recruited from City last summer.
