Touré has lofty ambition

City are only 13 games into the season, so have quite a long way to go to think about matching the Arsenal side of 2004.

Touré said: “We started very well but now we just need to forget about it. Just try to win game by game, and as long as you play game by game, it’s fantastic. We don’t think about this record. We just want to play as well as we can every single game. When you start thinking about it, you play without control. For me, we just need to relax, go out, do our best and win the game. At Arsenal, we never thought about it, it never came into my mind. It was taking it game by game and trying to win.”
